Sarcopenia, characterized by decreased muscle mass and function, is projected to affect more than 200 million people worldwide by 2060. This study aimed to evaluate the rates of short-term complications following lumbar spine arthrodesis in patients with and without a recent diagnosis of sarcopenia. ⋯ In patients undergoing lumbar spine arthrodesis, sarcopenia is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications, including increased costs of care. Spine surgeons should consider screening patients for sarcopenia preoperatively and counsel them regarding their increased risk of complications. Additionally, surgeons may consider preoperative optimization, like the management of low bone density.
