BACKGROUND: @entity6288 is a risk factor for @entity209 and @entity65 , but the association between @entity6288 and cardiovascular risk factors according to age and @entity28 status in the general population remains unknown. We thus investigated these associations in the Korean population. METHODS: We included 8,958 and 8,518 subjects from the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) (from 2010 and 2011, respectively). The study was restricted to @entity1 >=  20 years old who had completed the health examination survey, including whole body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans. After exclusion, 7,366 subjects (3,188 @entity1 , 4,178 @entity1 ) were included in our final analysis. Age was categorized according to three age groups (20-39, 40-59, and >=  60 years), and subjects were categorized according to their sarcopenic and @entity28 status. Cardiovascular risk was assessed with Framingham risk score (FRS). RESULTS: The sarcopenic @entity28 group had a higher FRS than the non-sarcopenic @entity28 group, which had a higher FRS than the non-sarcopenic non- @entity28 group. Age-wise, the 20-39 year-old group showed a non-significant association between @entity6288 and FRS. In the 40-59 year-old group, regardless of @entity28 status, sarcopenic subjects had a higher FRS than non-sarcopenic subjects. In the >=  60 year-old group, sarcopenic subjects had a higher FRS than non-sarcopenic subjects for the non- @entity28 group. CONCLUSIONS: @entity6288 was associated with @entity65 and may be an early predictor of its susceptibility in both elderly and middle-aged subjects. Thus, management of @entity6288 is necessary to prevent @entity65 .
