Sarcopenia and the frailty progression among Chinese: a longitudinal study
Transitions in sarcopenia status significantly affect frailty risk and progression. Worsening sarcopenia heightens frailty risk, whereas recovery diminishes it. These findings highlight the value of monitoring and addressing sarcopenia in middle-aged and older adults, offering potential to enhance quality of life and lower healthcare costs through targeted interventions.
