Description
Summary:Increasing data suggests that chronic low-grade inflammation plays an important role on development of sarcopenia. The present study was designed to identify the association between fibrinogen, fibrin degradation products (FDP) and sarcopenia risk in hospitalized old patients. A total of 437 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study (148 with sarcopenia and 289 without sarcopenia). Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria. Body composition, grip strength and gait speed were performed to participants. Fibrinogen, FDP levels were measured. Logistic regression analyses were carried out to assess the association between fibrinogen and sarcopenia, between FDP and sarcopenia, respectively. Compared to non-sarcopenic patients, fibrinogen and FDP levels were found to be higher in the sarcopenic group (3.07 g/L vs 2.79 g/L, 1.75 μg/mL vs 1.00 μg/mL, respectively, p
