The application of Chinese version of SARC-F and SARC-CalF in sarcopenia screening against five definitions: a diagnostic test accuracy study
The Chinese version SARC-F is of reasonable reliability and validity for sarcopenia screening. Despite its low sensitivity, it proves to be a useful tool to identify severe cases in community taking advantage of its simplicity. SARC-CalF appears to be a more suitable screening tool for clinical use in detecting sarcopenia.
