Sarcopenia With Limited Mobility: An International Consensus

Abstract: A consensus conference convened by the Society of Sarcopenia, Cachexia and Wasting Disorders has concluded that “Sarcopenia, ie, reduced muscle mass, with limited mobility” should be considered an important clinical entity and that most older persons should be screened for this condition. “Sarcopenia with limited mobility” is defined as a person with muscle loss whose walking speed is equal to or less than 1 m/s or who walks less than 400 m during a 6-minute walk, and who has a lean appendicular mass corrected… Show more

“…Others have argued that muscle strength or power is a more appropriate addition to loss of muscle mass or that a new term dynapenia (poverty of muscle strength/power) should be used separately from sarcopenia, which then would be reserved solely for poverty of muscle mass 6, 7, 8. Regardless of definitional refinements, sarcopenia measured in several different ways has been associated with multiple adverse outcomes 3, 4, 5. No easily applied sarcopenia measure currently exists for use in usual clinical settings.…”

“…As each of these consensus 110 definitions were slightly different, no definition is yet universally accepted and there still remains confusion and inconsistency in the literature when describing and diagnosing this "geriatric syndrome" [9]. However, all three definitions agree that sarcopenia is characterised 113 by the progressive age-related loss of lean muscle mass, muscle strength and physical 114 function, and is associated with poor health outcomes [10][11][12]. One important development in 115 the consensus of sarcopenia is the recognition that inadequate dietary intake and/or nutrient 116 malabsorption is a possible factor in the aetiology of the syndrome (known as nutrition- multifactorial aetiology of the syndrome; though they did recognise that it has a role in the 121 pathophysiology of sarcopenia [11,12].…”

This may reflect the lack of strong research in 122 exploring the nutritional mechanisms in sarcopenia along with the fact that it may be 123 uncommon to find an older adult with sarcopenia who meets estimated energy and protein 124 requirements [8].…”

“…There is as yet no universally agreed definition but a number of groups have published definitions which differ mainly around the exact cut-off points used for measures of mass, strength and performance (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) .…”
