The ASMI 2SD cut-off points for older Koreans, 6.09 kg/m2 for men and 4.38 kg/m2 for women, resulted in low prevalences of a low ASM, that is, 9.7% for men and 0.7% for women, and showed low clinical usefulness due to very low determined prevalence in women. Hence, we suggest that the cut-off point of the lowest 20% of Korean older people (men: 6.48 kg/m2, women; 5.33 kg/m2) be used for older Koreans.
