Objective to map and synthesize the main evidence on the use of bioelectrical impedance
(BIA) and its variables in the assessment of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults …

Objective To examine the published scientific literature regarding the prevalence of
sarcopenia in ageing people, with different diagnostic criteria, using bioelectrical impedance …

Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) plays an important role in health and physical performance. Its
estimation is critical for the early detection of sarcopenia, a disease with high prevalence …

Sarcopenia in older adults has become a public health problem associated with several
adverse health outcomes that lead to high costs of care. This is why an accurate and timely …

caracterizada por la reducción de la masa muscular y el rendimiento físico. En 2010, el …

Background and purpose The prevalence of sarcopenia varies depending on environments
and populations of older people. What is more, in separate studies different diagnostic …

Skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI) is a component in sarcopenia. There is no universal cut-
off point and therefore each population should have its own reference values. This study …

Background Sarcopenia is prevalent in 20–50% of geriatric rehabilitation inpatients, but it is
often undiagnosed. Aims The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of bioelectric …

As reference methods are not available for identifying low skeletal muscle mass in clinical
practice, the European Group on Sarcopenia in Older People the Asian Working Group for …

Objectives: Physiological ageing is associated with major and progressive changes in body
composition, particularly in the decline of fat-free mass, which puts older individuals at risk of …
