Background
Sarcopenia, a common condition found in maintenance dialysis (MHD) patients, is known to be linked to higher rates of illness and death. Several studies have indicated that central obesity can predict cardiovascular mortality in MHD patients. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the impact of sarcopenia with central obesity on the survival of MHD patients.
Methods
This retrospective, observational, cohort study enrolled MHD patients on Sept 1-31, 2022. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria and the waist hip rate (WHR) were used to diagnose sarcopenia with central obesity. Additionally, demographic, body composition, clinical laboratory and body composition by bioimpedance were collected.The primary outcome is all-cause mortality with MHD patient .
Results
A total of 59 MHD patients were included in this study, specifically, the prevalence of sarcopenia was 44.1% and the prevalence of sarcopenia with central obesity was found to be 49.2%. Over a median follow-up period of 214 days, a total of 5( 8.5% ) deaths occurred. Univariate Cox regression analyses revealed several factors associated with an increased risk of mortality, including age (HR: 0.055; p=0.098), 5-time chair stand test (HR: 0.044; p=0.029),and severe sarcopenia with central obesity (HR: 2.651; p<0.001). However, in the multivariate analysis, only severe sarcopenia with central obesity remained independently associated with all-cause mortality (HR: 2.734; p=0.015), indicating that severe sarcopenia with central obesity was linked to an increased risk of all-cause mortality in MHD patients.
Conclusion
It is crucial to consider the presence of central obesity when evaluating the correlation between sarcopenia and adverse outcomes in individuals undergoing dialysis.
