Trends in Low Muscle Mass and Sarcopenia Prevalence in Korea Using Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2024 and 2008–2011: The KSBMR-KSOS KNHANES DXA Joint Task Force Report

NHNamki HongJYJun-Il YooJHJeonghoon Ha

Key Points

  • Evaluate the trends in low muscle mass and sarcopenia prevalence among older adults in Korea using national survey data.
  • Analyzed data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) for 2024 and 2008–2011
  • Assessed muscle mass and sarcopenia prevalence in the older population
  • Compared findings across different years to observe trends.
  • Increased prevalence of low muscle mass noted among older adults from 2008-2011 to 2024
  • Strong association identified between sarcopenia and various comorbidities
  • Findings indicate a growing public health concern regarding muscle health in the aging population.

Abstract

Low muscle mass and sarcopenia are increasingly prevalent among older adults in Korea and are strongly associated with comorbidities.
