Association between the presence or absence of muscle mass assessment in sarcopenia diagnosis and poor health outcomes: A follow‐up study of older outpatients at a frailty clinic
Only participants who had muscle weakness and/or reduced physical function in addition to muscle mass loss were associated with poor health outcome incidence. Excluding muscle mass assessment from the sarcopenia diagnosis might lead to missing a population that requires attention. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; 25: 553-559.
