Diagnostic accuracy analysis of SARC-F, its modified versions and the Quality of Life in Sarcopenia questionnaire in screening for sarcopenia in nursing home residents.

Aim: Sarcopenia, which is among the most important geriatric syndromes, is also a public health challenge. This study evaluated the performance of the SARC-F, its modified versions and the Quality of Life in Sarcopenia (SarQoL) in screening for sarcopenia.

Methods: In the diagnostic accuracy study carried out with a total of 195 nursing home residents, sarcopenia was evaluated according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older Persons 2 algorithm.

Quality of life in sarcopenia measured with the SarQoL questionnaire: A meta-analysis of individual patient data.

Age-related sarcopenia, resulting from a gradual loss in skeletal muscle mass and strength, is pivotal to the increased prevalence of functional limitation among the older adult community. The purpose of this meta-analysis of individual patient data is to investigate the difference in health-related quality of life between sarcopenic individuals and those without the condition using the Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL) questionnaire. A protocol was published on PROSPERO.

Nutritional status and quality of life are associated with risk of sarcopenia in nursing home residents: a cross-sectional study.

Sarcopenia, which is characterized by an age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, is an important geriatric syndrome that is closely related to the nutritional status and quality of life (QoL) of older adults. The aim of this study was to compare the nutritional status and QoL of nursing home residents according to sarcopenia. We hypothesized that a daily protein intake <1.
