Research Progress in the Association Between Sarcopenic Obesity and Cancer
As the global prevalence of obesity and the elderly population continues to increase,the in-cidence of sarcopenic obesity is also on the rise and becoming a global public health concern.Sarcopenic obesity not only increases the incidence of cancer,but is also associated with poor clinical outcomes in various cancers,such as surgical complications,increased risk of death,and possibly even an impact on chemotherapy as well.Therefore,sarcopenic obesity is emerging as an important indicator of prognosis in cancer patients.However,there are limited relevant studies on the association between sarcopenic obesity and cancer in China.This article reviews the definition and diagnosis of sarcopenic obesity,the clinical correlation between sar-copenic obesity and cancer,and the potential mechanisms,with a view to providing a reference for future clini-cal practice in China.
