In the first stage, 166 participants were divided into two groups: sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia. Afterwards, they were categorized according to sarcopenia level (probable sarcopenia group, sarcopenia group, severe sarcopenia group, group without sarcopenia) and comparisons were made between these subgroups. Then, they were evaluated with various scales and tests (in terms of balance, fear of falling and risk of falling)., conditionsModule conditions: Sarcopenia, designModule studyType: OBSERVATIONAL, designInfo observationalModel: ECOLOGIC_OR_COMMUNITY, timePerspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL, enrollmentInfo count: 166, type: ACTUAL, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: valuation of balance status, fear of falling and risk of falling in patients non-sarcopenia., interventions name: Evaluation of balance status, fear of falling and risk of falling in patients with probable sarcopenia., interventions name: Evaluation of balance status, fear of falling and risk of falling in patients with sarcopenia., interventions name: Evaluation of balance status, fear of falling and risk of falling in patients with severe sarcopenia., outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Sociodemographic data, primaryOutcomes measure: Berg Balance Scale(BBS), primaryOutcomes measure: Falls Efficacy Scale (FES), primaryOutcomes measure: Balance and Gait Assessment Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Biochemical data, secondaryOutcomes measure: Co-morbidities, secondaryOutcomes measure: Number of drugs, secondaryOutcomes measure: Basic activities of daily living (Katz), secondaryOutcomes measure: Instrumental activities of living (Lawton-Brody; IADL), secondaryOutcomes measure: Mini-nutritional evaluation (MNA-Short form), secondaryOutcomes measure: Mini-mental state assessment (MMSE), secondaryOutcomes measure: Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form (GDS-SF), secondaryOutcomes measure: FRAIL fragility index, secondaryOutcomes measure: Short physical performance battery (SPPB), secondaryOutcomes measure: Timed up and go test (TUG), secondaryOutcomes measure: The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), eligibilityModule sex: FEMALE, minimumAge: 65 Years, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Konya Beyhekim Training and Research Hospital Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic, city: Selçuklu, state: Konya, country: Turkey, geoPoint lat: 37.8842, lon: 32.49222, hasResults: False
