Abstract
Abstract Sarcopenia, the progressive loss of muscle mass and function, is a significant health concern in middle-aged and older adults, potentially linked to adverse outcomes like falls and fractures. A cohort study was conducted utilizing participants aged ≥ 45 years from CHARLS. Sarcopenia was defined using established criteria. Primary outcomes were isolated falls, isolated hip fractures, and composite outcomes. Associations were assessed using multivariable Cox regression (adjusted for confounders), propensity score matching (PSM), and inverse probability weighting (IPW), reporting hazard
