The objective of this study was to determine the association of sarcopenia and pre-sarcopenia with all-cause mortality in older Chileans.Subjects and Methods: Follow-up of 2311 community-dwelling people ≥ 60y from the Alexandros cohort. Anthropometric measurements, handgrip strength, mobility, and physical performance tests were performed. Sarcopenia, pre-sarcopenia, and severe sarcopenia were defined using the 2010 European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP1) algorithm. Muscle mass was estimated using a prediction model with cut-off points validated for the Chilean population. Physical performance was determined by 3 m walking speed or five chair-stands or time up go test (TUG). Mortality data were obtained from death certificates of the National Civil Registry. Life tables for survival data, Kaplan Meier estimations, and Cox regression were calculated.Results: The prevalence of sarcopenia was 20.2% (95% CI:18.6% to 21.9%) and similar in both sexes; pre-sarcopenia was identified in 20.4% (95% CI:18.8% to 22.1%) of the sample. Kaplan Meier survival estimates demonstrated lower survival rates for the people with sarcopenia and pre-sarcopenia (Log rank test for equality of survivor functions: p< 0.0001). A dose-response was observed in the survival rates according to the stages of sarcopenia, showing the lowest survival rates for the people with severe sarcopenia, followed by older adults with sarcopenia, pre-sarcopenia, and without sarcopenia (Log rank test for equality of survivor functions: p< 0.0001). After adjusting for age, sex, nutritional status, and number of chronic diseases, hazard ratios for death showed higher risk for subjects with sarcopenia (HR=1.47, 95% CI:1.17– 1.83) and pre-sarcopenia (HR=1.35, 95% CI:1.03– 1.78) in comparison with people without sarcopenia.Conclusion: The results confirm a dose–response increase in the risk of all-cause death in older adults with sarcopenia and pre-sarcopenia compared to non-sarcopenic individuals.Keywords: cohort study, survival probability, predictive models, skeletal muscle massLera LAngel BMarquez CSaguez RAlbala CDove Medical Pressarticlecohort studysurvival probabilitypredictive modelsskeletal muscle massGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 16, Pp 611-619 (2021)
