Comparisons of sarcopenia defined by IWGS and EWGSOP criteria among older people: results from the I-Lan longitudinal aging study.
Wei Ju Lee,Wei Ju Lee,Li Kuo Liu,Li Ning Peng,Ming Hsien Lin,Liang Kung Chen,Liang Kung Chen +6 more
TL;DR: Comparisons among older people in Taiwan showed that age was the strongest associative factor for sarcopenia in both IWGS and EWGSOP criteria, and obesity played a neutral role in sarc Openia when it is defined by using RASM, but significantly increased the risk of sarcopenian in both criteria by using SMI.
