BACKGROUND: This study critically appraises the measurement properties of tools to
measure muscle mass, strength, and physical performance in community-dwelling older …

Background Sarcopenia is diagnosed on the basis of skeletal muscle mass and muscle
strength/function. However, more simple and accurate measures for muscle mass and …

Introduction: Sarcopenia is characterised by a progressive and generalised loss of skeletal
muscle mass, strength and/or performance. It is associated with adverse health outcomes …

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 …

Background This study aimed to adjust and cross‐validate skeletal muscle mass
measurements between bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and dual‐energy X‐ray …

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 …

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 …

OBJECTIVES: To compare two methods for classifying an individual as sarcopenic for
predicting decline in physical function in the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study …

Objectives To compare the diagnostic value of the 5-component questionnaire that
measures strength, assistance walking, rise from a chair, climb stairs, and falls (SARC-F) …

Background sarcopenia in ageing is a progressive decrease in muscle mass, strength
and/or physical function. This review aims to summarise the definitions of sarcopenia in …
