Vitamin D in relation to incident sarcopenia and changes in muscle parameters among older adults: The KORA-Age Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-08)Summary We report low baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels being associated with unfavorable changes in muscle mass and physical performance over three years, but not with incident sarcopenia.
