Popis: Abstract As the world’s population is aging, sarcopenia is recognized as essential to assess people’s lifelong condition and do appropriate early intervention. Senile blepharoptosis is also a problem in old age deteriorating visual function and causing a cosmetic decline. We investigated the association between sarcopenia and the prevalence of senile blepharoptosis, using a nationwide representative survey in Korea. A total of 11,533 participants were recruited. We used the body mass index (BMI)- adjusted appendicular skeletal muscle (ASM) definition as the muscle mass index (MMI, ASM [kg] divided by BMI [kg/m2]). The association between blepharoptosis prevalence and MMI was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. Sarcopenia, defined as the lowest MMI quintile group in both men and women, was also associated with the prevalence of blepharoptosis (ORs 1.92, 95% CI 1.17–2.16; p
