Independent and joint associations of skeletal muscle mass and physical performance with all-cause mortality among older adults: a 12-year prospective cohort study

Skeletal muscle mass vs mortality (elderly) — Elders with low height-adjusted skeletal muscle index & low gait speed HR=4.33, high timed up-and-go HR=4.11, high timed chair stand HR=2.97, low weight-adjusted leg press HR=3.19, low handgrip strength HR=

The height-adjusted skeletal muscle index and physical performance are key indicators, individually or in combination, in the prediction of mortality, which may help target interventions to improve survival among older adults. https://t.co/Yn2E2hx55m
