Optimal Cutoffs for the Diagnosis of Sarcopenia in Older Chinese Adults

Abstract

Notably, 7.05 kg/m², 28.5 kg, and 1.05 m/s for men and 5.85 kg/m², 18.6 kg, and 1.01 m/s for women were selected as the optimal cutoffs for low ASMI by BIA, handgrip strength, and gait speed, respectively. These optimal cutoffs will enhance practicability for screening sarcopenia in primary care and clinical settings.
