文摘

In hospitalised older adults, sarcopenia prevalence is high. Sarcopenia was associated with dependency in both Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental ADLs. Patients with sarcopenia were twice as likely to die in the 12-months post-hospitalisation. Sarcopenia was not associated with admission to an Emergency Department (ED) in the 12-months post-hospitalisation.
