The muscle quality index (MQI) was proposed as a measure to quantify age-related alterations in muscle function. It is unknown if the MQI predicts mortality.
This was a population-based cohort study from the Third National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES III; 1988-1994). The MQI was quantified using a timed sit-to-stand test, body mass, and leg length. Vital status was obtained through the National Center for Health Statistics. We fit multivariable-adjusted regression models to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) between the MQI and mortality.
During 14.6 years of follow-up, 3299 (73.1%) of 4510 study participants died. Lower MQI was associated with a higher risk of mortality (Ptrend <.001). The multivariable-adjusted HR for mortality was 1.50 (95% CI, 1.15-1.96) for those in the lowest quintile of MQI compared to the highest quintile. The association between MQI and mortality was stronger among males (highest vs. lowest quintile of MQI, HR = 1.37 [95% CI, 1.00-1.87]; Ptrend = .001) compared to females (highest vs. lowest quintile of MQI, HR = 1.27 (95% CI, 0.89-1.83); Ptrend = .044; Pinteraction = .005].
The MQI predicts mortality and may differ between males and females. Additional research examining the MQI is warranted.
肌肉质量指数(MQI)被提出作为一种量化与年龄相关的肌肉功能改变的指标。MQI是否能预测死亡率尚不清楚。
这是一项基于第三次全国健康与营养调查(NHANES III;1988 - 1994年)的队列研究。使用定时坐立试验、体重和腿长来量化MQI。通过国家卫生统计中心获取生命状态信息。我们拟合多变量调整回归模型来估计MQI与死亡率之间的风险比(HR)和95%置信区间(CI)。
在14.6年的随访期间,4510名研究参与者中有3299人(73.1%)死亡。较低的MQI与较高的死亡风险相关(P趋势<.001)。与最高五分位数相比,MQI最低五分位数人群的多变量调整后死亡率HR为1.50(95% CI,1.15 - 1.96)。与女性相比,男性中MQI与死亡率之间的关联更强(MQI最高与最低五分位数相比,HR = 1.37 [95% CI,1.00 - 1.87];P趋势 =.001),女性中(MQI最高与最低五分位数相比,HR = 1.27(95% CI,0.89 - 1.83);P趋势 =.044;P交互作用 =.005)。
MQI可预测死亡率,且可能在男性和女性之间存在差异。有必要对MQI进行更多研究。
