Association of Insulin Resistance, Sarcopenia, and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: Findings From the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
We found that IR and sarcopenia, especially early-stage sarcopenia, synergistically increase the incidence of CVD in older adults. These findings advocate for dual-targeted CVD interventions (muscle preservation and IR mitigation) in aging societies, particularly during the transitional phase of possible sarcopenia.
