Development of a 6-Year Sarcopenia Risk Prediction Model Based on an Elderly Population: A Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract

Sarcopenia, a progressive age-related condition that is difficult to diagnose, increases the risk of adverse outcomes, including falls, frailty, and Alzheimer’s disease in older adults.Existing prediction models are limited by small sample sizes, difficult-to-collect predictors, and short prediction horizons.
