Cumulative overall survival for the entire cohort (n = 383). The one-, three-, and five-year cumulative OS rates were 92.7%, 82.4% and 59.2%, respectively, in patients with decreased SMI (D-SMI), and 97.2%, 92.2% and 84.4%, respectively, in patients without D-SMI (p < 0.0001). D-SMI was defined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria. The cut-off values for SMI are 7.0 kg/m² for males and 5.7 kg/m² for females. SMI: skeletal muscle mass index; D-SMI: decreased SMI.
