In female: Q1# < 253.85umol/l, 253.85umol/l ≤ Q2# < 293.8umol/l, 293.8umol/l ≤ Q3# < 340.4umol/l, 340.4umol/l ≤ Q4#; In male: Q1* < 319.2umol/l, 319.2umol/l ≤ Q2* < 372.25umol/l, 372.25umol/l ≤ Q3* < 423.525umol/l, 423.525umol/l ≤ Q4*. The odds ratios (OR) represent the odds of sarcopenia with the first quartile of UA as the baseline category
