Risk for mortality events, expressed as hazard ratio^* according to the combination of group with sarcopenia and malnutrition in older adults undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (n = 170).

		95% CI
	Hazard ratio*	Lower	Upper	p-value
Male	0.44	0.24	0.83	0.01
Age (years)	1.02	0.96	1.06	0.27
hs-CRP (mg/dl)	1.35	2.00	1.58	0.03
No-sarcopenia + no-malnutrition (reference group) (n = 42)
Sarcopenia + no-malnutrition (n = 28)	2.65	0.86	7.05	0.09
No-Sarcopenia + malnutrition (n = 44)	2.43	0.97	6.05	0.06
Sarcopenia + malnutrition (n = 56)	2.99	1.23	7.25	0.03
