Comparison of the prevalence of sarcopenia using skeletal muscle mass index and calf circumference applying the <scp>E</scp>uropean consensus definition in elderly <scp>M</scp>exican women

Abstract

The prevalence of sarcopenia in active elderly women was low. A higher prevalence of sarcopenia was detected using SMI compared with CC. It is important to identify the best methods to assess skeletal muscle mass to obtain a reliable diagnosis of sarcopenia. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017; 17: 161-170.
