Association between metabolic phenotypes and incident pre-sarcopenia: 3 years follow-up of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesIn the context of musculoskeletal health, the emergence of pre-sarcopenia as a precursor to sarcopenia has garnered attention for its potential insights into early muscle loss. We explored the association between different metabolic phenotypes of obesity, and the incidence of pre-sarcopenia over a 3-year follow-up in a cohort from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).
methodsIn this 3-year longitudinal study, 2257 participants were categorized into four groups based on their BMI and metabolic status: metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW), metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHO), metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW), and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese (MUO). The participants were assessed for various anthropometric and body composition indices including muscle mass determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Blood samples were collected for metabolic indices, and participants underwent measurements for blood pressure. Pre-sarcopenia was defined based on low muscle mass. Statistical analyses included logistic regression and chi-squared tests.
resultsThe MUNW group exhibited the highest prevalence of pre-sarcopenia (33.5%), while the MHO group had the lowest (2.8%). Adjusted models revealed that the odds ratio for pre-sarcopenia was higher in the MUNW group (OR = 2.23, P < 0.001), whereas the MHO and MUO groups showed lower odds (OR = 0.11 and 0.13, both P < 0.001). Notably, the association was gender-dependent, with MUNW females having a higher risk even after adjustments (OR = 2.37, P = 0.042).
conclusionOur findings suggest that metabolic health may play a pivotal role in pre-sarcopenia, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions based on both metabolic and obesity phenotypes.
