Zusammenfassung:	OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to examine the prevalence and factors associated with sarcopenia in older residents in São Paulo, Brazil. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: São Paulo, Brazil. PARTICIPANTS: 1,149 older individuals from the second wave of the Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (SABE) study from 2006. MEASUREMENTS: The definition of sarcopenia was based on the consensus of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP), which include three components: low muscle mass, assessed by a skeletal muscle mass index of ≤8.90kg/m² for men and ≤6.37kg/m² for women; low muscle strength, assessed by handgrip strength
