The quality of life and related factors in older adults with possible sarcopenia and sarcopenia in rural areas of Xinjiang, China: a cross sectional study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundStudies have shown that sarcopenia prevalence in the Chinese population aged over 60 years was 14%. The quality of life of older adults with sarcopenia has drawn increasing attention. Sarcopenia-related quality of life has not been well studied. We explored the quality of life of patients with sarcopenia and the related influencing factors in Xinjiang.
methodsThis study was conducted from July-September 2023 in the northern and southern regions of Xinjiang, China. Possible sarcopenia and sarcopenia were diagnosed according to the AWGS 2019. The Sarqol
resultsA total of 987 older adults were enrolled,18.5% had possible sarcopenia, and 15.1% had sarcopenia. Quality of life scores: possible sarcopenia 26.46-92.55 (56.31 ± 14.69), sarcopenia 30.74-90.93 (56.91 ± 13.45).The indicators for which the difference analysis were meaningful, in the group with possible sarcopenia are gender, inhabiting information, ACCI score, hearing loss, social support level and self-rated risk of falling. In the sarcopenia group are gender, ACCI score, hearing loss, vision loss, self-rated health status, number of remaining teeth, self-rated risk for falling, and dysphagia status. The risk factors for quality of life in patients with possible sarcopenia were gender and hearing loss, whereas self-rated of general health, self-rated of poor health, self-rated of very poor health and falls were risk factors in the sarcopenia group.
conclusionThis study focused on quality of life and factors in older adults with possible sarcopenia or sarcopenia. The research results showed that in order to prevent the decline in the quality of life of older adults with sarcopenia, it is very important to regularly examine the oral health status of the older adults, prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases.Multimodal interventions address common sensory impairments.Carry out aging-friendly renovation of the home environment and conduct balance training to prevent the occurrence of falls among the older adults.
