Evaluation of SARC-F and SARC-CalF for sarcopenia screening in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain: A prospective cross-sectional study

Abstract

Sarcopenia was diagnosed in patients aged <65 years with chronic musculoskeletal pain. SALC-F and SARC-CalF scores showed a significant correlation with disability due to pain and were reliable sarcopenia screening tools for chronic musculoskeletal pain. SARC-CalF was more reliable than SARC-F.
