...This reflects the complex role of muscle as not only a strength generator but also an important organ performing protein storage, glucose regulation, hormone production, and other cellular mechanisms.(96) A discussion on the use of a single diagnostic criterion or a combination of diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia should take into account which criterion has the strongest predictive value on clinical outcomes....

...Normal aging is associated with approximately a 1 % loss of muscle from 30 years of age, and this loss tends to accelerate after the age of 70 years [15]....

...First, when Baumgartner et al.[12] used a cut-off point of two SD for ASM/height(2) in the young reference group to define sarcopenia, the prevalence of sarcopenia ranged from 13 to 24% in persons aged 65 to 70 years and was over 50% for those older than 80 years....

...In this study, the prevalence was higher for men over age 75 years (58%) than for women (45%).[12] In a similar study, the prevalence based on total skeletal mass determined by DXA was 10% for men and 8% for women between 60 and 69 years and 40 and 18%, respectively, for men and women over 80 years....

...[6] A 10-15% loss of leg strength per decade is seen until 70 years of age, after which a faster loss, ranging from 25% to 40% by decade, occurs.[7,8] It is estimated that a 10....

...2) Operational definitions of sarcopenia based on SMI and muscle strength and function Muscle strength does not depend solely on muscle mass, and the relationship between strength and mass is not linear.[8,21] Therefore, from the initial definition of ‘age-related loss in skeletal muscle’, sarcopenia subsequently evolved to current operative definitions simultaneously capturing both quantitative (i....
