Sarcopenia risk is associated with frailty in humans.
“At the between-person level, higher sarcopenia risk was associated with higher frailty.”

Blood protein linked to poor muscle health in older adults

For each standard deviation increase—a measure of variation—in an inflammatory protein, the odds of muscle-related problems were 1.37–1.71-fold higher in older adults.For each standard deviation increase—a measure of variation—in an inflammatory protein, the odds of muscle-related problems were 1.37–1.71-fold higher in older adults.

Cohort study of 323 community-dwelling older adultsMuscle

Limit: Elevated blood CCL2 may respond to muscle deterioration rather than cause it
