Defining Sarcopenia in Terms of Risk of Physical Limitations: A 5‐Year Follow‐Up Study of 3,153 Chinese Men and Women

Abstract

Sarcopenia may be defined in terms of a range of values for ASM/ht(2) associated with the lowest risk of future physical limitations. The importance of establishing a quantitative value for the definition of sarcopenia may facilitate future interventional studies using pharmacological or nonpharmacological strategies.
