- Sarcopenia and its association with falls and fractures in older adults: A systematic review and meta‐analysis (2019, result): “This highlights the importance of muscle strength or physical performance in the sarcopenia definition, in line with current definitions.(58,59,61,62,68,93) However, literatures also showed the value of including muscle mass in sarcopenia definitions.”
- Prevalence of sarcopenia in the world: a systematic review and meta- analysis of general population studies (2017, methodology): “In this regard, we performed this study, aiming to systematically review the finding of all available studies in this issue and estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia using definitions as proposed by the EWGSOP and the AWGS; and also to assess potential sources of heterogeneity.”
- Epidemiology of sarcopenia: Prevalence, risk factors, and consequences. (2023, background): “This definition was supported by the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia albeit with different cutoffs for Asians [9] and this is the only definition endorsed by a range of international scientific societies [1].”
- Sarcopenia: revised European consensus on definition and diagnosis (2018, background): “More recently, the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia developed an EWGSOP-based consensus that specified cut-off points for diagnostic variables [4].”
