ALB and sarcopenia: Table 1 presents the patient characteristics in the non-sarcopenia (n = 29, 29%) and sarcopenia (n = 71, 71%) groups. Patients in the sarcopenia group were older, at a more advanced T- and TNM stage, and displayed lower BMI compared to those in the non-sarcopenia group while values of albumin did not show significant differences. Concerning the inflammatory markers, NLR and PLR were significantly higher in the sarcopenia than in the non-sarcopenia group (p = 0.021 and 0.031, respectively) and LMR was significantly lower in the sarcopenia than in the non-sarcopenia group (p = 0.040).
