To explore the relationship between muscle mass and disability in the elderly.
This study is based on the tracking survey data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) from 2008 to 2018, utilizing Cox regression and constructing restricted cubic spline models to analyze the dose-response relationship between muscle mass and disability in the elderly.
A total of 2 165 elderly patients were followed up 4 times for an average of 10 years. Among them, 603 (27.8%) developed disability. After adjusting for confounders, muscle mass affected disability in the elderly(HR=0.879,95%CI:0.822-0.939). The RCS results showed that the association between muscle mass and disability risk in older adults was non-linear in both older men(Poverall trend<0.05,Pnon-linear<0.05) and older women(Poverall trend<0.05, Pnon-linear<0.05). It is suggested that ASMI level of 7.2 (kg/m2) and above should be maintained in elderly men and 5.2 (kg/m2) and above in elderly women.
Muscle mass is associated with disability in the elderly. Maintenance or improvement of muscle mass can improve the quality of life in the elderly.
