  2. The fully adjusted model was adjusted for age, depression, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, location of residence, family group, vitamin D level, number of medications, MMSE-KC score, and body mass index
  3. a Low HGS, < 28 kg for males and < 18 kg for females; low ASMI, < 7.0 kg/m2 for males and < 5.4 kg/m2 for females; low SPPB, score ≤ 9 for both sexes
  4. b Sarcopenia: Low ASMI (< 7.0 kg/m2 for males and < 5.4 kg/m2 for females) and either a low HGS (< 28 kg for males and < 18 kg for females) or low physical performance (SPPB score ≤ 9 for both sexes)
  5. cSevere sarcopenia: Low ASMI with a low HGS and low physical performance
