Objective To assess the association between muscle parameters (mass, strength, physical
performance) and activities of daily living (ADL), quality of life (QoL), and health care costs …

Aim The most appropriate muscle index for the definition of sarcopenia has not been agreed
on. We aimed to investigate the associations of muscle mass and strength with 5‐year …

Background Activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs)
are essential for independent living and are predictors of morbidity and mortality in older …

Background sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and quality and is diagnosed using
measures of muscle strength, size and mass. We evaluated the literature on whether …

Results: A total of 879 elderly subjects, 50.1% of whom were female, were recruited. The
mean handgrip strength (HGS) and sd was 24.2 (8.8) kg [17.9 (4.8) female, 30.6 (7.1) male] …

Abstract Objectives The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People
(EWGSOP) has proposed different methods and cut-off points for the three parameters that …

Background Sarcopenia, defined as low muscle mass (LMM), and dynapenia have been
associated with adverse outcomes in elderly. Objective Contrast the association of …

Relative and absolute muscle mass and muscle strength are used as diagnostic criteria for
sarcopenia. We aimed to assess which diagnostic criteria are most associated with physical …

Sarcopenia is an evolving concept and the current definition of sarcopenia includes both a
loss of muscle strength and loss of muscle mass. However, despite the increasing …

Background: the prevalence of sarcopenia increases with age. Physical activity might slow
the rate of muscle loss and therewith the incidence of sarcopenia. Objective: to examine the …
