Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the associations of combinations of sarcopenia and adiposity phenotypes with 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk scores in cancer survivors and non-cancer participants. METHODS: In 19,019 individuals including 1023 cancer survivors free of CVD who were aged ≥30 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, combination groups of sarcopenia, obesity and abdominal obesity based on handgrip strength, BMI and waist circumference, respectively, were generated and 10-year CVD risk scores based on Framingham risk model were determined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After adjusting for socio-demographic factors, health behaviours, dietary intake of nutrients and time since cancer diagnosis and current cancer therapy (in cancer survivors), cancer survivors with sarcopenic non-obesity, non-sarcopenic abdominal obesity or sarcopenic abdominal obesity had, respectively, 84%, 85% and 3.61-fold higher odds for ≥10% CVD risk scores compared with cancer survivors without those phenotypes. In non-cancer participants, sarcopenia, obesity, abdominal obesity and combinations of those phenotypes had higher odds from 1.37 (in those with obesity) to 4.24 (in those with sarcopenic abdominal obesity) for ≥10% CVD risk scores compared with reference phenotypes. In conclusion, cancer survivors and non-cancer participants with sarcopenia, obesity, abdominal obesity or combination of those phenotypes had increased 10-year CVD risk scores.

  • Sarcopenic obesity significantly increases risk of cardiovascular risk factors including insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and adverse glycolipid metabolism, even in context of divergent comorbidities such as cancer and peritoneal dialysis.

    “Sarcopenic obesity significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular risk factors including insulin resistance (IR), metabolic syndrome, and adverse glycolipid metabolism (16, 42–44), even in the context of divergent comorbidities such as cancer and peritoneal dialysis (45, 46).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
