TLDR
The AWGS consensus report is believed to promote more Asian sarcopenia research, and most important of all, to focus on sarc Openia intervention studies and the implementation of sarcopenian in clinical practice to improve health care outcomes of older people in the communities and the healthcare settings in Asia.About:

TL;DR: An emphasis is placed on low muscle strength as a key characteristic of sarcopenia, uses detection of low muscle quantity and quality to confirm the sarc Openia diagnosis, and provides clear cut-off points for measurements of variables that identify and characterise sarc openia.

TL;DR: The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 introduces "possible sarcopenia," defined by either low muscle strength or low physical performance only, specifically for use in primary health care or community-based health promotion, to enable earlier lifestyle interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenic obesity in older adults: aetiology, epidemiology and treatment strategies.
TL;DR: The evolution, controversies and challenges in defining sarcopenic obesity are discussed, and current body composition modalities used to assess this condition are presented and current treatment strategies are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Welcome to the ICD-10 code for sarcopenia.
TL;DR: The new ICD‐10‐CM (M62.84) code for sarc Openia represents a major step forward in recognizing sarcopenia as a disease and should lead to an increase in availability of diagnostic tools and the enthusiasm for pharmacological companies to develop drugs for sarc openia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health Outcomes of Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a systematic review to assess the short-, middle and long-term consequences of sarcopenia, and the results showed a higher rate of mortality among sarcopenic subjects (pooled OR of 3.596 (95% CI 2.96-4.37).

Lower Extremity Function and Subsequent Disability Consistency Across Studies, Predictive Models, and Value of Gait Speed Alone Compared With the Short Physical Performance Battery

TL;DR: Performance tests of lower extremity function accurately predict disability across diverse populations and Equations derived from models using both the summary score and the gait speed alone allow for the estimation of risk of disability in community-dwelling populations and provide valuable information for estimating sample size for clinical trials of disability prevention.

TL;DR: Sarcopenia should be considered in all older patients who present with observed declines in physical function, strength, or overall health, and patients who meet these criteria should further undergo body composition assessment using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry with sarcopenia being defined using currently validated definitions.

The Loss of Skeletal Muscle Strength, Mass, and Quality in Older Adults: The Health, Aging and Body Composition Study
Bret H. Goodpaster,Seok Won Park,Tamara B. Harris,S. B. Kritchevsky,Michael C. Nevitt,Ann V. Schwartz,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Frances A. Tylavsky,Marjolein Visser,Anne B. Newman +9 more
TL;DR: Although the loss of muscle mass is associated with the decline in strength in older adults, this strength decline is much more rapid than the concomitant loss of Muscle mass, suggesting a decline in muscle quality.

What is the cause of the ageing atrophy? Total number, size and proportion of different fiber types studied in whole vastus lateralis muscle from 15- to 83-year-old men
TL;DR: The results show that the ageing atrophy of this muscle begins around 25 years of age and thereafter accelerates, and suggest the occurrence of several other age-related adaptive mechanisms which could influence fiber sizes and fiber number, as well as enzyme histochemical fiber characteristics.
