Association between cardiovascular disease risk and sarcopenia in community‐dwelling Japanese older adults

Sarcopenia's high prevalence in older adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) suggests that the risk of comorbidity in sarcopenia might also be increased during the at-risk phase of CVD. However, the relationship between CVD risk and sarcopenia has not been elucidated. Therefore, the purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between CVD risk and sarcopenia in community-dwelling Japanese older adults.
