- Sarcopenia is the involuntary loss of muscle mass and strength that generally occurs with aging, and this study focused on kidney transplant recipients to compare physical activity levels between those with sarcopenia and those without.
- The study involved 58 participants, categorized into three groups based on muscle mass and function: 20.7% (Group 1) with sarcopenia, 43.1% (Group 2) with presarcopenia, and 36.2% (Group 3) non-sarcopenia, using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for assessment.
- Results showed that physical activity was significantly lower in the sarcopenia and presarcopenia groups compared to the non
