Background The 5-times chair stand test (5CST) is a proxy tool for measuring physical
performance and muscle strength in diagnosing sarcopenia. The Asian Working Group for …

Background The five‐time chair stand test (5CST) as an indicator of muscle strength and
physical function is the first step in assessing sarcopenia. We aimed to determine the …

Background Low muscle strength has been focused on as an essential characteristic of
sarcopenia, and the 30-s chair stand test (CS-30) could be a particularly useful test for …

Aim Determining gait speed as a measure of physical performance is recommended in
diagnosing sarcopenia. Gait speed measurements require a certain amount of space (eg a 6 …

Background The sit-to-stand (STS) test has been deployed as surrogate measures of
strength or physical performance in sarcopenia diagnosis. This study examines the …

Abstract Background The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is an established test
of physical performance. We provide reference values for SPPB and determine SPPB …

Background Poor performance in the 5‐chair stand test (5‐CST) indicates reduced lower
limb muscle strength. The 5‐CST has been recommended for use in the initial assessment …

Aim Several operative definitions and screening methods for sarcopenia have been
proposed in previous studies; however, the opinions of researchers still differ. We compared …

This study aimed to compare the diagnostic values of SARC-F (strength, assistance with
walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls), SARC-Calf (SARC-F combined with …

Abstract Objective The 2019 Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (AWGS
2019) recommends using either calf circumference or the strength, assistance in walking …
