To our knowledge, their coexistence in a single chronic liver disease cohort has not been systematically examined. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence, clinical features and prognostic impact of cachexia and sarcopenia\u2014alone and combined\u2014in chronic liver disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively screened 776 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and\/or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at Hokkaido University Hospital (August 2014\u2013May 2025). The inclusion criteria were grip strength, CT\u2010based muscle mass and complete clinical data, yielding 307 patients; 469 did not meet one of the inclusion criteria. Cachexia was determined following the Asian Working Group for Cachexia criteria, and sarcopenia was determined following Japan Society of Hepatology guidelines. Patients were grouped as no cachexia\/sarcopenia, cachexia only, sarcopenia only or cachexia+sarcopenia. The outcomes were overall survival, time to liver\u2010related events and time to readmission (Kaplan\u2013Meier and Cox\u2010proportional models).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 776 patients, 307 were included in the final\u2010analysis. Of 307 patients, 206 (67.1%) were male, the median age was 70\u2009years (range, 19\u201390\u2009years), 262 patients (85.3%) had LC and 188 patients (61.2%) had HCC. The patients were grouped as no cachexia\/sarcopenia (213; 69.4%), cachexia only (54; 17.6%), sarcopenia only (17; 5.5%) and cachexia+sarcopenia (23; 7.5%). The combined group compared with the others had the lowest body mass index, psoas\u2010muscle\u2010index and grip strength (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

OS was shorter in the cachexia only (median 61.8 [95% CI 40.90\u2013not reached (NR)] months,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.046) and cachexia+sarcopenia (median 59.6 [95% CI 14.26\u2013NR] months,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.027) groups than in the no cachexia\/sarcopenia group.
