Evaluating the predictive validity of SARC-F cut-off scores for low muscle strength among older adults in a low-income community

Key Points

• Improved sensitivity for detecting probable sarcopenia with a SARC-F cut-off of ≥2 is indicated.
• SARC-F cut-off testing involves measuring low muscle strength among older adults in low-income communities.
• Longitudinal validation is needed for accurate screening across various population groups and settings.
• The findings suggest implementing the SARC-F cut-off might help in community health targeted interventions.
