Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated the link between regular green tea drinking and the risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss) in older Japanese adults using the SARC-F assessment tool, involving 364 participants over 65 years old.
- - Researchers found that 9.3% of participants showed a risk of sarcopenia, with multivariable analysis revealing that consuming at least one cup of green tea daily significantly reduced the odds of sarcopenia compared to those drinking less than one cup weekly (OR = 0.312).
- - The study suggests that habitual green tea consumption may help lower the risk of sarcopenia in older adults, but further longitudinal research is needed to verify these conclusions.
