have not been empirically validated. As part of the FNIH (Foundation for the National …

predicting decline in physical function in the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study …

Background. Sarcopenia defined by lean mass has been inconsistently associated with
disability in elders. Studies suggest that definitions should consider body size and additional …

Background Aging is associated with sarcopenia (low muscle mass) and dynapenia (low
muscle strength) leading to disability and mortality. Widely used previous cut‐points for …
