Association Between Sarcopenia and the Long‐Term Risk of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia and intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) are both highly prevalent among the elderly and have a substantial impact on their quality of life. However, the association between sarcopenia and IDD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether sarcopenia is independently associated with an increased risk of IDD in
