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...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
