Abstract Background in 2010, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People
(EWGSOP) published a sarcopenia definition that aimed to foster advances in identifying …

Abstract Background The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People
(EWGSOP) recently updated the definition and diagnostic criteria to assess sarcopenia …

The assessment of body composition has important applications in the evaluation of
nutritional status and estimating potential health risks. Bioelectrical impedance analysis …

The appropriate use of predictive equations in estimating body composition through
bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) depends on the device used and the subject's age …

Societies are progressively aging, with the oldest old (ie., those aged> 80–85 years) being
the most rapidly expanding population segment. However, advanced aging comes at a …

Background & aims Sarcopenia is a muscle disorder associated with loss of muscle mass,
strength and function. Early screening, diagnosis and treatment may improve outcome in …

Results: Variance explained by segmental BIA equations ranged between 97% for total
SMM MRI, 91–94% for limb SMM MRI and 80–81% for VAT with no differences between …

As reference methods are not available for identifying low skeletal muscle mass in clinical
practice, the European Group on Sarcopenia in Older People the Asian Working Group for …

We evaluate the accuracy of whole body muscle mass (WBMM) and appendicular skeletal
muscle mass (ASMM) assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) using an …

The lack of standardization of BIA use for assessing muscularity results in a wide range of
sarcopenia prevalence rates among studies, even when conducted in the same population …
