SARC-F Is Better Correlated with Muscle Function Indicators than Muscle Mass in Older Hemodialysis Patients

Sarcopenia can be characterized by European Consensus for Sarcopenia (EWGSOP2) criteria, but it methods are not easily accessible. Likewise, the Strength, Assistance with walking, Rise from a Chair, Climb stairs and Falls (SARC-F) has been proposed. The aim of this study was i) to evaluate the preva...

Description
Summary:Sarcopenia can be characterized by European Consensus for Sarcopenia (EWGSOP2) criteria, but it methods are not easily accessible. Likewise, the Strength, Assistance with walking, Rise from a Chair, Climb stairs and Falls (SARC-F) has been proposed. The aim of this study was i) to evaluate the prevalence for risk sarcopenia and ii) to correlate the SARC-F with components of the EWGSOP2 consensus in hemodialysis (HD) patients. This cross-sectional study enrolled ninety-five (male n= 59; 62%) HD older patients. Sarcopenia risk was assessed using the SARC-F, which ≥4 score indicates sarcopenia risk. Sarcopenia was confirmed through of the EWGSOP2 consensus, including the handgrip strength (HGS
