Upon the dichotomization of the SARC-F score to identify patients with risk of sarcopenia, the results of the statistical differences showed that patients with risk of sarcopenia were significantly older (57.4±16.4 years vs. 49.6±15.0 years; P=0.004), had shorter heights (158.9±10.8 cm vs. 162.5±10.2 cm; P=0.047), had lower albumin concentrations (38.4±3.9 g/l vs. 40.6±4.1 g/l; P=0.002), and had lower overall HGS (33.3±13.7 cm vs. 45.6±16.1 cm; P<0.001) than those without risk of sarcopenia. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and sarcopenia.
