Research Article: Evaluating sarcopenia prevalence and SARC-F effectiveness in elderly Spanish women with RA: a comparative study of EWGSOP criteria

Date Published: 2024-05-10

Abstract:
Introduction: The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) has put forward two key proposals for diagnosing sarcopenia: the EWGSOP1 in 2010 and the EWGSOP2 in 2019. These proposals are currently the most widely used guidelines for diagnosing sarcopenia. However, data on the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on EWGSOP criteria are limited. This study aimed to: (a) establish the prevalence of sarcopenia in an elderly Spanish cohort of women with RA using both EWGSOP1 and EWGSOP2 criteria; and (b) evaluate the effectiveness of the SARC-F questionnaire in detecting sarcopenia.
