Prevalence of sarcopenia in the French senior population

Introduction A muscle mass normalized for height 2 (MMI) or for body weight (SMI) below 2SD under the mean for a young population defines sarcopenia. This study aimed at setting the cutoffs and the prevalence of sarcopenia in the French elderly population. Another objective was to compare the result...

Zusammenfassung:	Introduction A muscle mass normalized for height 2 (MMI) or for body weight (SMI) below 2SD under the mean for a young population defines sarcopenia. This study aimed at setting the cutoffs and the prevalence of sarcopenia in the French elderly population. Another objective was to compare the results obtained with SMI and MMI. Methods : Muscle mass was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis in 782 healthy adults (
