Prognostic implication of sarcopenia diagnosed by updated Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria in older patients with heart failure: Utility and limitation.

When sarcopenia was diagnosed using these cut-off values, multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses showed results consistent with our primary analyses, although the association between sarcopenia diagnosed by modified BMI-adjusted ASM and mortality showed a trend toward significance (HR, 1.54; 95%CI, 0.94–2.53; p = 0.085; Table 4 ). 3.4 Impact of AWGS 2019H on prediction of all-cause mortality in HF patients We examined which components of muscle strength and physical performance contributed to improving the prediction of all-cause death in patients with HF, using low muscle mass as a reference.
