Relationship of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism with sarcopenia and muscle traits based on propensity score matching

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism is reported to be associated with muscle mass and muscle strength. Loss of skeletal muscle mass and decreased muscle strength are the main characteristics of sarcopenia. In this study, the relationship of VDR gene polymorphism with muscle traits (muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance) and sarcopenia were studied in Xinjiang, China. METHODS:...
