This study aims to evaluate the reliability and concurrent validity of the SARC-CalF questionnaire for identifying sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults.
Evaluated reliability with Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency.
Assessed concurrent validity by comparing SARC-CalF with AWGS 2019 criteria.
Included 195 community-dwelling older adults with a mean age of 69.
SARC-CalF showed moderate internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.67).
Sensitivity of SARC-CalF improved to 55.3% and specificity to 84.7% with a cut-off of 7.
SARC-CalF demonstrated a prevalence of sarcopenia at 17.4%, compared to 19.5% with AWGS criteria.
