Prevalence of Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity in Older Adults

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Syndromes such as sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity and osteosarcopenic obesity are commonly seen in older adults. They result from the impairment of muscle, bone and adipose tissue. Thus, they lead to a decrease in quality of life and increase morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to report the prevalence of sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity and osteosarcopenic obesity in community-dwelling outpatient older adults and to investigate the related factors.
