Knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward sarcopenia among maintenance dialysis patients in Anhui, China by Qianyun Zhao, Xiyao Yang, Manzhen Bao, Miao Zhang, Deguang Wang

“…The multivariable logistic regression showed that 5.1–10 years of dialysis (OR = 0.38, 95% CI: [0.15, 0.97]) and attitude scores (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: [1.25, 1.48]) were independently associated with practice. The structural equation model showed that knowledge had a direct effect on attitudes (β = 0.38, 95% CI: [0.33, 0.44]) and practice (β = 0.18, 95% CI: [0.11, 0.24]) and had an indirect effect on practice though attitudes (β = 0.42, 95% CI: [0.35, 0.50]). …”
