The association between non‑high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol to high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and low muscle mass in adults aged 20–59: a population-based study in the United States

The ratio between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHHR) is a reliable marker for assessing the risk linked to lipid metabolism disorders. Sarcopenia, characterized by age-related loss of muscle mass and strength/function, includes the assessment of muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle-specific strength. However, research into NHHR's relationship with low muscle mass risk remains unexplored.
