Overview

Cross-sectional study shows sarcopenia correlates with balance performance in older adults, indicating potential fall risks.

Key Points

  • Low balance performance significantly correlates with reduced muscle mass and strength in older adults.
  • Chi-square tests reveal significant differences in sarcopenia measures across balance performance groups.
  • Unadjusted logistic regression suggests that decreased SARC-F scores are linked to worse balance outcomes.
  • Adjusting for age and gender, muscle mass and physical performance maintain a significant association with balance.
