An executive summary on the Global conceptual definition of Sarcopenia

Abstract

Objective: to address a significant gap in research and clinical practice by developing the global conceptual definition of Sarcopenia.

Study design: two-phase Delphi study with participants from leading international musculoskeletal organisations and sarcopenia societies [1]. A steering committee was formed of representatives from each continent/region (Asia, Europe, North America, South America, New Zealand/Australia). The steering committee then developed a glossary of research terms on sarcopenia [2]. Following this, a list of statements on critical aspects of sarcopenia was developed and finalised.

Participants: invitations to complete an online survey were sent to international experts from academic, industry, and healthcare professions. All participants including steering committee members completed a declaration of interest form prior to participation.

Statistical analysis: prespecified criteria were set by the steering committee including a two-phase study design and an acceptable threshold of > 80% for accepted statements
