Evaluation of the Diagnosis Accuracy of the AWGS 2019 Criteria for “Possible Sarcopenia” in Thai Community-Dwelling Older Adults

The AWGS 2019 criteria for "possible sarcopenia" showed excellent sensitivity in detecting sarcopenia but lacked sufficient specificity. The modified AWGS "possible sarcopenia" criteria, which includes a BMI cutoff of <24 kg/m², increased the specificity for detecting sarcopenia while preserving high sensitivity among Thai community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract

The AWGS 2019 criteria for "possible sarcopenia" showed excellent sensitivity in detecting sarcopenia but lacked sufficient specificity. The modified AWGS "possible sarcopenia" criteria, which includes a BMI cutoff of <24 kg/m², increased the specificity for detecting sarcopenia while preserving high sensitivity among Thai community-dwelling older adults.
