Stephanie A. Studenski,Katherine W. Peters,Dawn E. Alley,Peggy M. Cawthon,Robert R. McLean,Tamara B. Harris,Luigi Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik,Maren S. Fragala,Anne M. Kenny,Douglas P. Kiel,Stephen B. Kritchevsky,Michelle Shardell,Thuy Tien L. Dam,Maria T. Vassileva +14 more
TL;DR: Based on the analyses presented in this series, the final recommended cutpoints for weakness are grip strength <26kg for men and <16kg for women, and for low lean mass, appendicular lean mass adjusted for body mass index <0.789 forMen and women.

TL;DR: The association between frailty and health status, the progression of frailty, and the relationship betweenFrailty and mortality in older men are described.

Dawn E. Alley,Michelle Shardell,Katherine W. Peters,Robert R. McLean,Thuy Tien L. Dam,Anne M. Kenny,Maren S. Fragala,Maren S. Fragala,Tamara B. Harris,Douglas P. Kiel,Jack M. Guralnik,Luigi Ferrucci,Stephen B. Kritchevsky,Stephanie A. Studenski,Maria T. Vassileva,Peggy M. Cawthon +15 more
TL;DR: Cutpoints for weakness derived from this large, diverse sample of older adults may be useful to identify populations who may benefit from interventions to improve muscle strength and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Criteria for Clinically Relevant Weakness and Low Lean Mass and Their Longitudinal Association With Incident Mobility Impairment and Mortality: The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) Sarcopenia Project
Robert R. McLean,Michelle Shardell,Dawn E. Alley,Peggy M. Cawthon,Maren S. Fragala,Maren S. Fragala,Tamara B. Harris,Anne M. Kenny,Katherine W. Peters,Luigi Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik,Stephen B. Kritchevsky,Douglas P. Kiel,Maria T. Vassileva,Qian Li Xue,Subashan Perera,Stephanie A. Studenski,Thuy Tien L. Dam +17 more
TL;DR: Findings support the cut-points for low grip strength and low ALM-to-BMI ratio as candidate criteria for clinically relevant weakness and low lean mass and further validation in other populations and for alternate relevant outcomes is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Evidence-Based Comparison of Operational Criteria for the Presence of Sarcopenia
Thuy Tien L. Dam,Katherine W. Peters,Maren S. Fragala,Peggy M. Cawthon,Tamara B. Harris,Robert R. McLean,Michelle Shardell,Dawn E. Alley,Anne M. Kenny,Luigi Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik,Douglas P. Kiel,Steve B. Kritchevsky,Maria T. Vassileva,Stephanie A. Studenski +14 more
TL;DR: The FNIH criteria result in a more conservative operational definition of sarcopenia, and the prevalence was lower compared with other proposed criteria, including the International Working Group and the European Working Group for Sarcopenia in Older Persons.
