ALB and sarcopenia: A study with total of 396,707 (68.8% women, age 38 to 73 years) participants from UK Biobank (EWGSOP2 criteria), reported that higher concentrations of albumin and sodium were associated with sarcopenia in both men and women, whereas lower values of vitamin D (fat-soluble secosteroids that increase intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate) were associated with sarcopenia only in men [100].
