Baseline and longitudinal changes in peak expiratory flow rate as predictors of sarcopenia in older adults: A 4-year cohort study
Lower baseline PEFR and its longitudinal decline were associated with increased risk of sarcopenia, while upward changes were linked to lower risk. These findings suggest that PEFR may serve as a practical early marker for identifying older adults at elevated risk of sarcopenia.
