“…However, the prevalence of sarcopenia in PD is varied among different studies. For example, some studies reported the prevalence of sarcopenia in PD with a range of 6-31.4% (3,4,19,20,22) according to the 1st version EWGSOP; other studies found the prevalence of sarcopenia as 40.4, 17.2, 58, 47.2, and 38% according to the decreased ASMMI (14), AWGS (21), SARC-F (15), probable sarcopenia (16), and ESS (17), respectively. This large discrepancy among the studies may be due to diagnostic criteria, muscle mass measurement techniques, different cut-off values for muscle mass indexes for the definition of sarcopenia, and as well as the characteristic of enrolled PD patients.…”
