TNF and sarcopenia: There was no significant difference in IL-6 levels between the sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups (P = 0.983); however, the levels of IL-10, IL-4, and TNF-α in the overall sarcopenia group were significantly higher than those in the non-sarcopenia group (P < 0.001, P = 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively).
