Article Synopsis
- Older cancer patients (≥70 years) have a high risk of sarcopenia, which is linked to muscle loss and decreased mobility.
- In a study of 781 patients, it was found that 24.5% had sarcopenia, while 11.7% experienced severe cases, impacting their physical performance and daily activities.
- Sarcopenia, especially in patients with metastatic cancer, significantly predicts a higher risk of mortality within 6 months, with strong correlations found between muscle strength, physical performance, and survival outcomes.
