DESCRIPTION OF SARCOPENIA FREQUENCY AND ANALYSIS OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CALF CIRCUMFERENCE AND THE EUROPEAN CONSENSUS FOR SARCOPENIA DIAGNOSIS IN ELDERLY

This study aimed to describe the frequency of sarcopenia and verify the agreement between instruments for diagnosis. This a cross-sectional study, where we used the algorithm proposed by the European Consensus Sarcopenia (EWGSOP), calf circumference (CC), muscle mass and body mass index. 167 elderly were evaluated with a mean age of 68.03 ± 6.12 years. The elderly frequency diagnosed by EWGSOP sarcopenia and CC was as follows: 40 (24.0%) and 15 (9.0%). A low degree of agreement between CC and the EWGSOP (P = 0.101) was found. However, these instruments due to the low financial cost and easy applicability are important auxiliary tools for the screening and diagnosis of sarcopenia in elderly.
