uCML levels were negatively associated with grip strength among older women. The joint association of uCML and Timed Up and Go test values was correlated with the risk of acquiring sarcopenia among older adults. This finding suggests that uCML levels can be used as a biomarker for screening sarcopenia and as a strategy for treating sarcopenia. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2019; 19: 1017-1022.
