ADIPOQ and sarcopenia: Based on the Child–Pugh classification, serum adiponectin concentrations in the no sarcopenia group were 18.36 μg/ml (IQR: 16.48, 24.86) for Child–Pugh A, 24.89 μg/ml (IQR: 19.88, 26.73) for Child–Pugh B, and 33.54 μg/ml (IQR: 25.09, 37.55) for Child–Pugh C. In the sarcopenia group, serum adiponectin concentrations were 25.29 μg/ml (IQR: 21.58, 30.94) for Child–Pugh A, 27.82 μg/ml (IQR: 22.89, 36.12) for Child–Pugh B, and 34.65 μg/ml (IQR: 32.62, 38.59) for Child–Pugh C (Table 4).
