Frailty or sarcopenia
BACKGROUND: Despite the different conditions, frailty and sarcopenia overlap regarding their common link: the assessment of walking speed and muscle strength. This study aimed to compare the frailty phenotype to the sarcopenia using different cut-off points for low grip strength to determine which better identifies mortality risk over a 14-year follow-up period. METHODS: 4597 participants in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Frailty was m…
How does the cut-off point for grip strength affect the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors? Findings from the Elsi-Brazil Study
This study aimed to compare the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors with the definition of muscle weakness established using two different cut-off points for grip strength.
