Background: Sarcopenia can predispose individuals to falls, fractures, hospitalization, and
mortality. The prevalence of sarcopenia depends on the population studied and the …

Sarcopenia is a potentially modifiable risk factor for falls and fractures in older adults, but the
strength of the association between sarcopenia, falls, and fractures is unclear. This study …

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 …

Purpose Previous studies have shown an association of sarcopenia with adverse short-and
long-term outcomes in multiple gastrointestinal cancer types. We aimed to investigate the …

Sarcopenia is the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function with advancing age. It involves
both complex genetic and modifiable risk factors, such as lack of exercise, malnutrition and …

Background Despite no international consensus on the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia,
low lean mass, muscle strength, and physical function are important risk factors for disability …

Results Whereas 20% of patients had sarcopenia, low muscle mass and low muscle
strength alone were observed in a further 24% and 15% of patients, respectively. Old age …

Sarcopenia, operationally defined as the loss of muscle mass and muscle function, is a
major health condition associated with ageing, and contributes to many components of …

Introduction A precise quantitative measurement of skeletal muscle mass is fundamental for
diagnosing sarcopenia in older individuals. The current techniques of assessment, including …

Efforts to develop a consensus definition are ongoing and will greatly facilitate the
development and testing of novel interventions for sarcopenia. Although pharmaceutical …
