Defining Sarcopenia in Terms of Incident Adverse Outcomes
The objectives of this study were to compare the performance of different diagnoses of sarcopenia using European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People, International Working Group on Sarcopenia, and the US Foundation of National Institutes of Health (FNIH) criteria, and the screening tool SARC-F, aga...

Self-Reported Walking Speed: A Useful Marker of Physical Performance Among Community-Dwelling Older People?
Walking speed is central to emerging consensus definitions of sarcopenia and frailty as well as being a major predictor of future health outcomes in its own right. However, measurement is not always feasible in clinical settings. We hypothesized that self-reported walking speed might be a good marker of ob...

Phenotype of Osteosarcopenia in Older Individuals With a History of Falling
In older persons, the combination of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia has been proposed as a subset of frailer individuals at higher risk of institutionalization, falls, and fractures. However, the particular clinical, biochemical, and functional characteristics of the osteosarcopenic (OS) patients r...

Incidence and Predictors of Sarcopenia Onset in Community-Dwelling Elderly Japanese Women: 4-Year Follow-Up Study
Several studies have explored the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia, but they have been based on cross-sectional data. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and predictors of the onset of sarcopenia over 4 years in community-dwelling elderly women.

Differential Association of Frailty With Cognitive Decline and Sarcopenia in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Frailty in older adults is a serious problem because of various adverse health outcomes in many countries with aging populations, such as Japan. The purpose of this study was to determine whether frailty and pre-frailty are associated with cognitive decline and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults...

An Anthropometric Prediction Equation for Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass in Combination With a Measure of Muscle Function to Screen for Sarcopenia in Primary and Aged Care
Sarcopenia is the presence of low muscle mass and poor physical function. We have developed an anthropometric prediction equation (PE). We compared the accuracy of our previously developed anthropometric prediction equation (PE) to dual absorptiometry x-ray (DXA) in predicting low muscle mass and sarcopeni...
