Abstract

Objective To investigate the association between daily dietary intake of resveratrol (RES) and sarcopenia in elderly adults. Methods Data were collected from Tianjin Chronic Low-grade Systemic Inflammation and Health (TCLSIH) Cohort study. The diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia were primarily based on the consensus recommended by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia Syndrome (AWGS). RES intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between RES intake and sarcopenia. Results This study included a total of 3643 participants aged 60 and above, including 1640 males and 2003 females. The prevalence of sarcopenia in the general population was 15.0%, including 19.0% in male and 11.8% in female. After adjusting for confounding variables, the OR and 95% CI of prevalence rate of sarcopenia by RES intake groups were 1.00 (reference), 0.81 (0.60, 1.10), 0.79 (0.59, 1.07), and 0.55 (0.40, 0.77) (P for trend <0.001). When stratified by sex, the OR and 95% CI in male were 1.00 (reference), 0.81 (0.53, 1.25), 0.61 (0.40, 0.93), and 0.47 (0.29, 0.76) (P for trend <0.001). The OR and 95% CI in female were 1.00 (reference), 0.88 (0.57, 1.38), 1.15 (0.74, 1.80), and 0.74 (0.46, 1.20) (P for trend = 0.47). Conclusion In the elderly population, dietary intake of RES is negatively associated with sarcopenia. The association is significant in male, but not in female.
