The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio shows a borderline significant association with sarcopenia risk when considering all patients (OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.98–1.10, p = 0.051).

Patients in the highest NLR tertile had 1.95 times higher odds of sarcopenia compared to the lowest tertile (95% CI: 1.12–3.40, p = 0.018), with a significant trend across tertiles (p-trend = 0.015).
