compare the association between mortality and sarcopenia defined by the EWGSOP1 and …

Background The operational definition of sarcopenia has been updated (EWGSOP2) and
apply different cut-off points compared to previous criteria (EWGSOP1). Therefore, we aim to …

Background. Sarcopenia is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes in older
people. Aim of the study was to explore the predictive value of the European Working Group …

Abstract Introduction recently, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People
(EWGSOP) established a new operational definition and cut-off points for sarcopenia. The …

Abstract Background and Purpose The revised European Working Group on Sarcopenia in
Older People (EWGSOP2, version 2019) definition of sarcopenia differs with respect to the …

Background/objectives The definition of sarcopenia remains a matter of discussion and

Abstract The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) recently
published an updated version (EWGSOP2). We aimed to compare the predictive values of …

Background A universal definition of sarcopenia is still lacking. Since the European criteria
have been recently revised, we aimed at studying prevalence of low muscle strength (LMS) …

Background Sarcopenia is common among older hospitalized adults but estimates vary
according to definitions used. Aims of this study were to investigate the agreement between …

Background EWGSOP2 criteria for sarcopenia recommends the use of either handgrip
strength (GS) or 5-times repeated chair stand test (RCS) as a muscle strength measure. We …
