The Turkish versions of the MSRA-7 and MSRA-5 effectively screen for probable sarcopenia in older adults, helping identify at-risk individuals.
Reliability scores indicate internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha of 0.650 for MSRA-7 and 0.705 for MSRA-5, confirming their usefulness in clinical applications.
Both questionnaires showed excellent reliability with ICCs ranging from 0.971 to 0.992, confirming their reliability for diagnosing sarcopenia.
The MSRA-5 demonstrated slightly superior diagnostic accuracy with an AUC of 0.721, indicating it may be the preferred tool for screening in Türkiye.
