In the unadjusted model, the ORs for sarcopenia showed an increasing trend as the Cor 0 AM tertiles increased (OR = 4.69 [0.93, 23.53], p = 0.061 for T2 group and OR = 11.39 [2.41, 53.84], p = 0.002 for T3 group).

Furthermore, although not reaching statistical significance, patients with sarcopenia showed a trend towards lower ACTH levels at 8 AM, suggesting a diminished cortisol awakening response.
