Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows malnutrition links to sarcopenia in elderly, suggesting dietary intake may impact outcomes.

Key Points

  • Malnutrition significantly increases the odds of sarcopenia in older adults.
  • Consumption of animal protein, fruits, and vegetables correlates with lower odds of sarcopenia (OR = 0.52 to 0.63).
  • Cohort study of 1344 elderly adults revealed that 10.11% had sarcopenia, and 31.02% had probable sarcopenia.
  • Long-term studies are needed to confirm the relationships between dietary intake and sarcopenia outcomes.
