93 In a subsample of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III, the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity was 42.9% in men and 18.1% in women, but only women had an increased risk of all-cause mortality with sarcopenic obesity (although this narrowly missed statistical significance if mobility limitations were added to the regression analysis). 94 Possibly associated with the risk of morbidity (but having an inconsistent effect on mortality), sarcopenic obesity has been associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events.
