Response - NO
Brief Summary   Sarcopenia is a progressive condition characterized by loss of muscle strength, muscle mass, and low physical performance. The diagnostic criteria involve the use of expensive equipment, which leads to under-diagnosis in resource-limited settings. Hence, we aim to develop an application that can be used in multiple settings. Phase 1 of the study includes identifying the surrogate measures followed by expert content validation to identify the relevant measures to be included in the application. In Phase 2, we develop the application and determine its concurrent validity. In Phase 3, we assess its diagnostic accuracy and usability, and a final version of the application will be released.
