Systematic review: Prevalence of sarcopenia in ageing people using bioelectrical impedance analysis to assess muscle mass

Conclusions Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in older individuals, especially in rehabilitation units. All the studies of prevalence carried out before the current sarcopenia consensus are studies to establish cutoff points of low muscle mass but they do not reflect sarcopenia's prevalence because they do not take into account muscle function.
