Height- and Body Mass Index-Based Sarcopenia ― Prognostic and Functional Implications in Older Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure ―
Background: The 2025 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) updated diagnostic criteria redefine sarcopenia based on low muscle strength and low skeletal muscle mass, incorporating body mass index (BMI)-adjusted appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) alongside height-adjusted ASM. The clinical relevance of these definitions in heart failure (HF) patients remains unclear.
