ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study examined sarcopenia in middleaged men aged 40 to 49 years. METHODS: The study design was a nationwide crosssectional study involving 1,564 participants. The participants were divided into two groups based on their skeletal muscle mass index scores, with 36 and 1,528 individuals classified into the sarcopenia and normal groups, respectively. The variables examined included age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, skeletal muscle mass index, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The results from blood tests included fasting glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels. The smoking and drinking status were also recorded. RESULTS: The anthropometric variables, such as weight, BMI, and waist circumference, revealed significant differences between the two groups (p < .05), except for height (p > .05). In addition, total cholesterol in the laboratory test and drink status were significant between the two groups (p < .05). CONCLUSION: This study identified significant determinants for sarcopenia among community-dwelling middle-aged men.
