Changes in the screening efficacy of lower calf circumference, SARC-F score, and SARC-CalF score following update from AWGS 2014 to 2019 Sarcopenia diagnostic criteria in community-dwelling older adults. J Phys Ther Sci. 2021;33(3):241–5. Article PubMed PubMed Central Google Scholar Ma...
SARC-CalF-assessed risk of sarcopenia and associated factors in cancer patients Introduction: sarcopenia is considered a risk factor, especially for cancer patients, as it increases mortality and post-surgical complications, and reduces response to treatment and quality of life. Objective: to identify ...
SARC‐F, previously reported cut‐off values for muscle strength decline (MSD; handgrip), pre‐muscle volume loss (pre‐MVL), calf circumference and finger‐circle test results were used, and these results were analyzed retrospectively. Results A high SARC‐F score (≥4) was observed in 25 ...
A score of ≥2 for SARC-F and ≥7 for SARC-CalF were established as optimal cut-off points for identifying older individuals as at risk of sarcopenia in Chinese population.The Chinese version SARC-F is of reasonable reliability and validity for sarcopenia screening. Despite its low sensitivity...
The SARC-F questionnaire and SARC-CalF score for sarcopenia screening were also applied. Results: We evaluated 288 participants, with a mean age of 67.6 ± 5.8 y. The frequency of probable and confirmed sarcopenia in the sample was 7.3% and 2.1%, respectively. The frequency of risk for ...
The Strength, Assistance for walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs and Falls (SARC-F) score is a tool recommended for screening the risk of sarcopenia in older patients. However, the association between SARC-F or SARC-F + calf circumference (SARC-F + CC) and the Charlson Comorbidity ...
[34] proposed a modified version of the SARC-F, including an anthropometric measurement as a marker of muscle mass (CC) with the aim of improving the performance of the original for screening (SARC-CalF score). Some studies have already shown that both versions have acceptable agreement for ...
Participants also completed SARC-F and their calf circumference (CC) was measured. SARC-F and CC were combined into an original score. The questionnaires' performances were evaluated through ROC curves, sensitivity/specificity analyses, and Pearson's 蠂2. Sarcopenia was identified in 15 (8.4%) ...
Sarcopenia was determined as proposed by the EWGSOP diagnostic criteria, whereby muscle mass was measured by bioelectrical impedance, muscle strength by handgrip strength, and physical performance by usual gait speed and a Short Physical Performance Battery score. Sarcopenia was also assessed by the ...
The total score ranges from a minimum of 0 points to a maximum of 10 points. A diagnosis of sarcopenia is made for a total score of 4 or higher. The MSRA-7 and MSRA-5 questionnaires are composed of 7 and 5 questions, respectively (Table 2). The total score for the MSRA-7 ranges ...
