EWGSOP2-defined sarcopenia is linked with a higher risk of 3-year mortality in humans after adjustment for potential confounders (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.33–2.57).
“Cox models showed that, after adjustment for potential confounders, only EWGSOP2 definition predicted 3-year mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.84; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.33-2.57).”
