Introduction Hand grip strength (HGS) has been determined as a simple and cost effective
method for evaluating overall skeletal muscle strength and quality. It has been used in …

The aging population faces two conditions that threaten healthy aging: high fat mass
(obesity) and low muscle mass and function (sarcopenia). The combination of both …

Objectives To investigate the association between body fat (BF%) and sarcopenia in older
adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and potential link with increased levels of …

Aim We aimed to compare diagnostic differences for identification of sarcopenia using the
original operational definition developed by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in …

Objective this retrospective study aims to compare the prevalence and diagnostic agreement
of sarcopenic obesity (SO) using different obesity diagnostic methods among Chinese …

Abstract Background The updated European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People
(EWGSOP2) recommends handgrip strength (HGS) and the chair stand test (CST) to assess …

Objectives Some patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) experience decreased
mobility associated with lower relative muscle strength (normalized with muscle mass). This …

Possessing intact mobility in older adults assures their continued independence. The early
identification of reduced mobility in older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is paramount …

O bjectives: The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between body composition,
nutritional status and physical ability in elderly outpatients. M ethod:. In this cross-sectional …

Background Sarcopenia is defined as low muscle mass, with low muscle strength or low
physical performance. The skeletal muscle mass (or density) and strength are inversely …
