EWGSOP2 Algorithm

1. Low strength β†’ Probable sarcopenia

2. + Low muscle mass β†’ Confirmed sarcopenia

3. + Low performance β†’ Severe sarcopenia

Disclaimer: Sarcopenia assessment requires accurate measurements by trained personnel. Muscle mass estimation without DXA is approximate. Consult a healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment planning.
