The Association of Sarcopenic Obesity With Respiratory Function Outcomes in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
= 94%). Sarcopenic obesity was significantly associated with respiratory function outcome (FEV1) when obesity was assessed using fat mass % (-1.14; 95% CI, -1.21, -1.06), but not when using the body mass index (BMI). In conclusion, sarcopenic obesity was significantly associated with poorer respiratory function outcomes. Assessment of respiratory function may be desirable in those with sarcopenic obesity, especially in high-risk populations such as older adults.
