Longitudinal Association Between the Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Sarcopenia in an Older Japanese Population: The SONIC Study. [PDF]

Geriatr Gerontol Int
ABSTRACT Aim Sarcopenia increases the risk of long‐term care, disease development, and mortality in older adults. It is also a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and vice versa. Using cross‐sectional and longitudinal cohort study designs, we investigated the association between the carotid intima‐media thickness (CIMT) and sarcopenia in older ...
