Sarcopenia, aged, Sensitivity, specificityAbstract
The objective of this study is to analyze the current evidence available regarding the diagnostic accuracy of alternative methods for the screening and evaluation of sarcopenia in older adults. Methods: A scoping review was conducted of diagnostic accuracy studies published between January 2020 and May 2024 in the geriatric population, in accordance with the provisions of the PRISMA-ScR Declaration. The search was performed in the PubMed, SpringerLink and ScienceDirect databases. Results: Of the 539 records found, 520 were eliminated, including a total of 19 articles for the final analysis. The main instruments used to detect cases of sarcopenia were the SARC-F, SARC-CalF and Ishii-score scales. Conclusion: Among the instruments analyzed within the literature, Ishii-score showed a greater discriminative capacity for detecting cases of sarcopenia in older adults.
