Different sarcopenia definitions for predicting the incidence of falls or hospitalization according to Cox Regression Models.
| Unadjusted | Model 1 | Model 2 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incidence of falls | |||
| EWGSOP-defined sarcopenia | 1.90 (1.27–2.86) | 1.52 (0.99–2.34) | 1.51 (0.98–2.33) a |
| EWGSOP2-defined sarcopenia | 2.39 (1.60–3.56) | 1.86 (1.22–2.83) | 1.86 (1.22–2.84) a |
| Modified EWGSOP-defined sarcopenia | 2.35 (1.44–3.85) | 1.69 (1.01–2.82) | 1.65 (0.98–2.79) a |
| Modified EWGSOP2-defined sarcopenia | 2.83 (1.73–4.64) | 2.07 (1.23–3.46) | 2.09 (1.23–3.55) a |
| Incidence of hospitalization | |||
| EWGSOP-defined sarcopenia | 1.84 (1.04–3.27) | 1.51 (0.81–2.77) | 1.48 (0.81–2.72) b |

Data are presented as hazard ratios (95% confidential intervals).
Model 1: adjusted for age and gender.
a.Model 2: adjusted for age, gender, coronary heart disease, cognitive impairment, and history of falls.
b.Model 2: adjusted for age, gender, and hypertension.
