  ABSTRACT: Objective: To study the correlation between TG/HDL-C ratio and sarcopenia in middle-aged and elderly people in southwest China. Methods: Body mass index (BMI) and serum of middle-aged and elderly people aged 50 - 70 years in Southwest China were collected, grip strength was measured by grip strength meter, muscle mass and fat mass of upper, lower limbs and trunk were measured by body composition analyzer based on bioelectrical impedance method, and TG and HDL-C in serum were determined by enzymatic method. Results: Pearson correlation analysis showed that TG/HDL-C ratio (r = 0.246, p p p > 0.05). Conclusion: TG/HDL-C ratio is a predictor of skeletal muscle mass, and TG/HDL-C ratio is a protective factor for sarcopenia in middle-aged and elderly people in southwest China, and it can be used as a potential evaluation indicator for sarcopenia.
