Sarcopenia in Hospitalized Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Comparing Diagnostic Thresholds and Handgrip Strength Measurement Tools
Sarcopenia prevalence was high and varied widely across diagnostic definitions and measurement tools, reflecting both methodological variability and the high vulnerability of hospitalized older adults. These findings highlight the need for standardized, context-adapted diagnostic strategies to guide timely intervention in high-risk hospitalized older adults.
