Sarcopenia, an independent predictor for all-cause mortality in rheumatoid arthritis: Insights from the NHANES database.

However, its relevance to all-cause mortality in rheumatoid arthritis patients remains to be explored.

Here, we examine the correlation between sarcopenia and all-cause mortality in rheumatoid arthritis patients using the NHANES database.

Cox regression models were utilized to measure the connection between sarcopenia and all-cause mortality, adjusted for demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors.

Subgroup analysis showed significant associations in individuals aged <60 years, males, and those with comorbid conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
