Brief Summary  

      Sarcopenia is a skeletal muscle disorder characterized by loss of muscle function and muscle mass with advancing age.

      The screening tools used to diagnose sarcopenia are, for muscle mass – calf girth measurement, for muscle strength – hand grip strength, for performance – timed up and go test and body composition analyser.

      To measure the Quality of life, there are many tools like WHOQOL-BREF, EuroQoL – 5D but specific to sarcopenia – SarQoL Questionnaire is used.

      The author of original ( French ) version of SarQoL questionnaire is Charlotte Beaudart et all which was published in November 2015 and validated in 2017 .

      SarQoL has been translated into 37 languages and validated in 18 languages.
