Searching for a relevant definition of sarcopenia: results from the cross-sectional EPIDOS study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the prevalence of sarcopenia and the characteristics of community-dwelling older women according to the different definitions of Sarcopenia currently proposed and assess these definitions for their incremental predictive value over currently standard predictors for some selfreported difficulties in physical function and knee extension strength.
