CI, confidence interval.
Odds ratios for the presence of white mater hyperintensities, stratified by increase in sarcopenic indices (by 1 SD).
Adjustment 1: adjusted for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, triglyceride levels, total cholesterol levels, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, glucose levels, immunoreactive insulin levels, use of antihypertensive drugs, antidyslipidemic drugs, antidiabetic drugs, current smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity (1 + 2 + 3 + 4).
Adjustment 2: Further adjustment for brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity.
White matter hyperintensity was defined as periventricular hyperintensity grade ≥ 2 and/or deep subcortical white matter hyperintensity grade ≥ 3. One SD of thigh muscle CSA was 18.92 cm2 for men and 13.49 cm2 for women, and that of skeletal muscle mass was 3.14 kg for men and 2.02 kg for women.
