Burden-of-illness of Dutch community-dwelling older adults with sarcopenia: Health related outcomes and costs

Conclusions Community-dwelling sarcopenic older adults had a higher health and economic burden than non-sarcopenic older adults. This was importantly driven by the living situation – keeping older adults independent and out of care-dependent settings may contribute to a reduction of health care costs.
