Who was studied10,871 adults without sarcopenia at baseline, 6-year follow-up
What changedMuscle disorder odds were lower with light-to-moderate activity in high frailty (OR: 0.9593) and strenuous activity in low frailty (OR = 0.8860)
The catchEffects on existing sarcopenia were not measured because participants started without it
