Sarcopenia prevalence and relationship to frailty by measurement method in patients with adult spinal deformity
The baseline prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with ASD varied widely according to the measurement method (0%-74.2%). Despite this, nearly all measures of sarcopenia were significantly correlated with each other. However, many sarcopenic patients were not frail, and sarcopenia measures largely did not correlate with frailty scores. These results highlight the need for a consensus criterion for sarcopenia in patients with spine disorders.
