Moreover, we did not observe any association between IL-6 and TNF-α and presence of sarcopenia neither before (OR 0.90; 95% CI 0.25, 3.13, OR 1.60; 95% CI 0.73, 3.48) nor after controlling for potential confounders (OR 0.68; 95% CI 0.17, 2.77, OR 2.39; 95% CI 0.87, 6.55). This evidence concerns the gene TNF and sarcopenia.
