- Higher Inflammatory Burden Index (IBI) scores are linked to increased sarcopenia risk in a study of 4,523 adults from NHANES (2015-2018).
- Multivariate logistic regression showed the highest IBI group had 1.94 times higher sarcopenia risk compared to the lowest group, with a nonlinear inflection point at IBI 2.38.
- Subgroup analyses confirmed the association across sex, age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease, suggesting inflammation's role in sarcopenia.
