In multivariate analysis for all-cause mortality, age (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.03–1.11; p = 0.001), CAD (HR, 2.58; 95% CI, 1.10–6.72; p = 0.015), serum levels of prealbumin (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.80–0.92; p = 0.001) and albumin (HR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.06–0.46; p = 0.003), SGA category (HR, 6.51; 95% CI, 2.72–15.61; p < 0.001), overhydration (HR, 2.31; 95% CI, 1.26–8.71; p = 0.015) and sarcopenia (HR, 2.72; 95% CI, 1.11–6.63; p = 0.028) were significantly associated with mortality. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is sarcopenia.
