We evaluated the impact of sarcopenia on the risk of all-cause death in a population of frail older persons living in community. We analysed data from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16485867\">Aging and Longevity Study<\/a>, a prospective cohort study that collected data on all subjects aged 80 years and older residing in the Sirente geographic area (n = 364). The present analysis was conducted among those subjects who were between 80 and 85 years of age at the time of the baseline assessment (n = 197). The main outcome measure was all-cause mortality over 7-year follow-up. <\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aginginmotion.org\/members\/european-working-group-on-sarcopenia-in-older-people\" \/>European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP)<\/a> criteria, the diagnosis of sarcopenia required the documentation of low muscle mass and the documentation of either low muscle strength or low physical performance. [Using] the EWGSOP-suggested criteria, 43 subjects with sarcopenia (21.8%) were identified. During the 7-year follow-up, 29 (67.4%) participants died among subjects with sarcopenia compared with 63 subjects (41.2%) without sarcopenia.
