摘要


Background and Objectives: Malnutrition is implicated as a key modifiable risk factor for sarcopenia. As such, a dietary pattern analysis, rather than an analysis of single food items or nutrients, may provide insights into the comprehensive contribution of diet and nutrition to the risk of sarcopenia. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships between main dietary patterns and sarcopenia. Methods and Study Design: A total of 591 participants aged over 40 years were included in this cross-sectional study. A validated food-frequency questionnaire was used to assess their dietary intake, and principal component analysis (PCA) was used to identify the main dietary patterns. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to explore the associations between their main dietary patterns and the risk of sarcopenia. Results: This study identified 56 cases of sarcopenia, equating to an overall detection rate of 9.48%. The PCA revealed four major dietary patterns among the participants: 〞coarse cereals and vegetables〞; 〞beverages and animal organs〞; 〞poultry, fish and shrimp〞; and 〞fruits and pasta〞. After adjusting for age, sex, physical activity and smoking, individuals with the 〞coarse cereals and vegetables〞 dietary pattern had a 63.0% reduction in the risk of sarcopenia. Conclusions: The 〞coarse cereals and vegetables〞 dietary pattern is negatively correlated with sarcopenia, and may reduce the risk of sarcopenia.
