  1. OR odds ratio, 95% CI 95% confidence interval, MIP maximal inspiratory pressure, MEP maximal expiratory pressure, HGS handgrip strength. *p < 0.05.
  2. Univariate: univariate logistic regression analyses for the association between age, MIP, MEP, HGS, and sarcopenia.
  3. Multivariate: multivariate logistic regression analyses to test whether the MIP, MEP, and HGS are independently associated with sarcopenia.
