 Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and function(strength and physical performance)with a risk of adverse outcomes. Asian criteria have been decided recently by the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia(AWGS).AWGS defined sarcopenia as low skeletal muscle mass plus low muscle strength and/or low physical performance based on the previous reports. AWGS recommend cutoff values for muscle mass(7.0 kg/m2 for men and 5.4 kg/m2 for women by using dual X-ray absorptiometry, and 7.0 kg/m2 for men and 5.7 kg/m2 for women by using bioelectrical impedance analysis),handgrip strength(<26 kg for men and <18 kg for women),and usual gait speed(<0.8 m/s).The prevalence of sarcopenia in Japanese elderly men and women diagnosed using Asian criteria was 9.6% and 7.7%,respectively. The estimated number of prevalent cases of sarcopenia in Japanese elderly men and women was approximately 1.3 million and 1.4 million, respectively.
