- Brief Summary
Multiple regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for sarcopenia were a serum cortisol/DHEA-S ratio >0.2, diastolic blood pressure <70 mmHg, hemoglobin concentration <13 g/dL, and an ankle brachial index <1.0. The strongest risk factor for sarcopenia was a serum cortisol/DHEA-S ratio >0.2. An increase in the serum cortisol/DHEA-S ratio reflected higher cortisol values and lower DHEA-S values in patients with sarcopenia compared with those in non-sarcopenic patients.
