RESUMEN
Objective:To detect the incidence of muscle mass loss in the adults and explore its relevant influencing factors.Methods:A total of 1 503 participants aged between 18 and 65 years old were collected from the Department of Preventive Treatment of Disease and Health Management Center of First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2019 to October 2021. All subjects completed physical and laboratory examination and bioelectrical impedance analysis. According to the cutpoint of plasma triglycerides concentration≥1.7 mmol/L, waist circumference≥85 cm in men or≥80 cm in women, 1 503 subjects were divided into four groups: normal triglycerides and waist circumference group, normal waist circumference and hypertriglyceridemia group, abdominal obesity and normal triglycerides group, and hypertriglyceridemic-waist phenotype(HTWC) group. Subjects were also divided into 4 groups according to age. Skeletal muscle mass index(ASMI) was calculated according to the skeletal muscle mass of the limbs. Differences of the ASMI and other relevant indicators among the above four groups were analyzed, and body composition was compared among four age groups. Then explore whether HTWC phenotype was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of sarcopenia in different age groups of different gender.Results:The level of triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in HTWC group were higher than those in the normal group(all P<0.001). But the incidence of the muscle mass loss in the HTWC group was much lower than that in the other three groups( P<0.001). The incidence of muscle mass loss in overall subjects was 9.2%, in which man was 2.05 times higher than women(12.9% vs 6.3%). There is no statistically significant difference in the incidence of muscle mass loss between the 18-35 age group and the 56-65 age group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass index, body fat percentage, bone mineral content were independent factors affecting muscle loss in 18-45 year-old adults. After adjustment for other risk factors, HTWC phenotype was still not an independent influencing factor of sarcopenia( OR=1.679, 95% CI 0.523-5.386, P=0.384). Conclusion:HTWC phenotype was not an independent influencing factor of sarcopenia. To prevent the occurrence of sarcopenia in middle-aged and young adults, in addition to assessing the muscle mass, attention should also be given to the measurement of body mass index, bone mineral content, and body fat percentage.
