Description
Volker Schmitt and co-authors compared men and women who had both poor blood flow in the legs and loss of muscle, in work published in 2026. They used German hospital records from 2005 to 2020. More than three thousand stays met the study rules.
Women in the group were older and had more other health problems than men. Men had more leg surgery and more leg loss, while women died in the hospital more often. Both sexes had the same low rate of a key muscle code in their records. The authors say the muscle loss is often missed, and its care may need to differ by sex.
