Association between sarcopenia index and ASCVD risk in quartile stratification analyses. The mean ASCVD risk (A) and proportion of participants with high ASCVD risk (B) both increased as the extent of sarcopenia increased (P < 0.001). C The sarcopenia index was negatively correlated with ASCVD risk (P < 0.001). D The sarcopenia index was negatively associated with ASCVD risk quartiles (P < 0.001).
