Early-onset sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were prevalent among young adults in the US. OSA is a significant independent risk factor and may induce muscle loss by unhealthy diet habits, higher BMI, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and Vitamin D. It was essential for clinicians to arrange appropriate screening and interventions for patients with OSA to prevent muscle loss as early as possible.
