Sarcopenia in older people is a major health issue and its early detection could help target interventions and improve health. Evidence suggests that poor muscle mass is associated with greater arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk. Arterial stiffness in turn is associated with smaller retinal artery width. This study examined the association of muscle mass in older people with retinal vascular width, a non-invasive measure of vascular function.

Abstract
Sarcopenia in older people is a major health issue and its early detection could help target interventions and improve health. Evidence suggests that poor muscle mass is associated with greater arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk. Arterial stiffness in turn is associated with smaller retinal artery width. This study examined the association of muscle mass in older people with retinal vascular width, a non-invasive measure of vascular function.File in questo prodotto:
