Abstract

Sarcopenia and knee osteoarthritis are two commonly described musculoskeletal disorders, associated with numerous adverse health outcomes such as reduced physical function, disability, increased hospitalization, and mortality. This study was conducted on 221 older patients with primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA) to identify factors associated with sarcopenia. KOA was diagnosed according to the 1987 American College of Rheumatology criteria, while sarcopenia was defined based on the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia guidelines (AWGS 2019). The study population had a mean age of 72.80 ± 8.13 years old, with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 1:6. Multivariable analysis showed that older age, osteoporosis, and malnutrition were independently associated with sarcopenia (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Advanced age, osteoporosis, and malnutrition are associated with sarcopenia in elderly patients with primary KOA, and early screening for sarcopenia is recommended in this population.
