Sarcopenia in the elderly is a serious global public health problem. Numerous sarcopenia studies classified their subjects into a single group, but health conditions and body composition vary according to age. This study examined the prevalence of sarcopenia according to gender and assessed the gender-specific risk factors in young-old adults. In this study, 2697 participants in Korea aged from 65 to 74 years were analyzed from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. The prevalence of sarcopenia in males and females was 19.2% (CI 95%: 16.4-22.3) and 26.4% (23.7-29.4), respectively. The risk factors in men were age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), skeletal muscle index (SMI), fasting glucose (FG), triglyceride, and systolic blood pressure (SBP). Their odd ratios were 1.447, 0.102, 1.494, 0.211, 0.877, 1.012, and 1.347. The risk factors in women were age, height, weight, BMI, WC, SMI, and fasting glucose with values of 1.489, 0.096, 0.079, 0.158, 0.042, and 1.071, respectively. The prevalence of sarcopenia was higher in females than in males. Overall, the clinical risk factors in males were age, height, BMI, WC, SMI, FG, triglyceride, and SBP. Age, height, weight, BMI, WC, SMI, and FG were the risk factors for women.
老年人肌少症是一个严重的全球公共卫生问题。许多肌少症研究将其研究对象分为单一组，但健康状况和身体成分会随年龄而变化。本研究根据性别检查肌少症的流行率，并评估年轻老年人的性别特异性危险因素。在这项研究中，对来自韩国全国健康和营养检查调查的 2697 名 65 至 74 岁的韩国参与者进行了分析。男性和女性肌少症的患病率分别为 19.2%（95%CI：16.4-22.3）和 26.4%（23.7-29.4）。男性的危险因素是年龄、体重指数（BMI）、腰围（WC）、骨骼肌指数（SMI）、空腹血糖（FG）、甘油三酯和收缩压（SBP）。他们的比值比分别为 1.447、0.102、1.494、0.211、0.877、1.012 和 1.347。女性的危险因素是年龄、身高、体重、BMI、WC、SMI 和空腹血糖，其比值比分别为 1.489、0.096、0.079、0.158、0.042 和 1.071。女性肌少症的患病率高于男性。总体而言，男性的临床危险因素是年龄、身高、BMI、WC、SMI、FG、甘油三酯和 SBP。年龄、身高、体重、BMI、WC、SMI 和 FG 是女性的危险因素。
