Prevalence of Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity in Older Adults

Syndromes such as sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity and osteosarcopenic obesity are commonly seen in older adults. They result from the impairment of muscle, bone and adipose tissue. Thus, they lead to a decrease in quality of life and increase morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to report the prevalence of sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity and osteosarcopenic obesity in community-dwelling outpatient older adults and to investigate the related factors.
