Variables Sarcopenia Defined by
EWGSOP2
Multivariate Model OR (95% CI) p Value
Diabetes 3.66 (1.06–12.61) 0.040
Takes >4 prescription drugs/day 2.66 (1.05–6.77) 0.040
BMI 0.75 (0.62–0.90) 0.003
TBW 0.84 (0.73–0.96) 0.013

Age, nutritional state, smoking, consuming alcohol, and obesity were adjusted for. OR: odds ratio; BMI: body mass index; TBW: total body water. Goodness-of-fit: H-L Chi2 (8) = 6.423, p = 0.600.
