Simplifying Sarcopenia Screening: A Community-Based Evaluation of Screening and Assessment Combinations

Sarcopenia is a serious condition in older individuals, characterized by muscle loss and physical decline. Early detection is crucial but challenging due to subtle symptoms. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 consensus recommends detection for possible sarcopenia, but the effectiveness of the suggested tools varies, and the ideal screening combination remains unclear. This study aims to identify the most suitable screening pathway for early sarcopenia detection in community settings.
