Operationalizing the Global Leadership Initiative in Sarcopenia: Muscle‐Specific Strength, Optimal Criteria and Clinical Relevance
This study establishes an operational framework for GLIS using nationally representative data from China and validates its effectiveness in a clinical setting. LFR proves to be a feasible method for assessing MSS. The H/M method effectively captures functional impairment, which may serve as a useful approach for diagnosing sarcopenia. These findings provide actionable benchmarks for sarcopenia research and clinical practice, potentially informing more refined prevention and intervention strategies.
