This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 9,472 U.S. adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2011 and 2018. Sarcopenia was assessed using a sarcopenia index calculated from appendicular lean mass and body mass index. The primary analysis used multiple logistic regression and restricted cubic spline regression to examine the association between sarcopenia and a self-reported history of kidney stones. Propensity score matching was performed to control for confounding variables, which strengthened the association, showing an adjusted odds ratio of 2.365 (95% CI: 1.598–3.500) for all participants.
