The relationships between Life’s Crucial 9, Life’s Essential 8, and sarcopenia in older adults: multicenter case–control study
LC9, a freely calculable metric integrating mental health with cardio-metabolic health, is strongly and independently associated with sarcopenia in hospitalized older adults and outperforms LE8. Routine LC9 assessment at admission may enable early identification and multimodal intervention to prevent muscle loss.
