  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Background:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; A consensus on the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia, a common syndrome in the elderly, has not been reached yet. Prevalence rates vary between studies due to the use of different criteria encompassing different measures, correction factors and cutoff points. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Objective:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; This study compared prevalence rates of sarcopenia using nine sets of diagnostic criteria applied in two different elderly populations. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The study population encompassed 308 healthy elderly participants (152 males, 156 females; mean age 74 years) and 123 geriatric outpatients (54 males, 69 females; mean age 81 years). Diagnostic criteria included relative muscle mass, absolute muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Prevalence rates of sarcopenia varied between 0 and 15% in healthy elderly participants and between 2 and 34% in geriatric outpatients. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; This study clearly demonstrates the dependency of sarcopenia prevalence rates on the applied diagnostic criteria.</jats:p>
