Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the association of pre-hospitalization sarcopenia measures with death among older adults in Health ABC

	All Subjects			Cognitive Impairment			No Cognitive Impairment
	n	Unadjusted	Adjusted¹	n	Unadjusted	Adjusted¹	n	Unadjusted	Adjusted¹
ALM_BMI¹	1711	0.79 (0.68, 0.93)	0.91 (0.66, 1.26)	201	0.97 (0.66, 1.44)	0.89 (0.38, 2.08)	1510	0.77 (0.65, 0.92)	0.91 (0.64, 1.31)

(mean) Grip strength¹	1711	0.94 (0.81, 1.10)	1.29 (0.98, 1.69)	201	1.02 (0.67, 1.54)	0.80 (0.39, 1.64)	1510	0.93 (0.79, 1.10)	1.37 (1.01, 1.85)
Low (mean) grip strength²	1711	1.36 (0.85, 2.17)	1.46 (0.83, 2.55)	201	1.75 (0.60, 5.12)	0.90 (0.21, 3.90)	1510	1.27 (0.75, 2.15)	1.46 (0.78, 2.74)

Adjusted models control for age, sex, race, study site, baseline MMSE score, baseline physical activity (walking/week), smoking status, history of falls, history of diabetes, history of cancer, history of arthritis, history of pulmonary disease, history of cardiac disease, history of stroke, history of depression, number of days from hospital discharge to ADL/death, number of days from sarcopenia (grip or lean mass) measurement to first hospitalization, and whether they had any ADLs prior to the first hospitalization. Grip strength models are also adjusted for baseline BMI. Odds ratios are per unit decrease in standard deviation for the ALM/grip strength measure

Adjusted models control for all of the above in 1 except for sex.

p-value for all interaction terms >0.1.
