This study aims to establish a set of reference data for Amazonas' older women based in younger adult's value. Two-hundred and thirteen women did partially (handgrip strength test, 6-m walking test, and timed up and go) and 126 did all the measurements (MoCA, Montreal Cognitive Assessment), anthropometric and body composition measure, SARC-F (strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls) questionnaire, handgrip strength; and physical functional performance (timed up and go and 6-m walk test). This is a cross sectional study with the sarcopenia diagnostic criteria based on t-score made from younger healthy (reference group). We showed cutoff changed in all measure compared to worldwide parameters, calf circumference should be 6.65 s. In summary, health professionals and researchers involved with older adult women should consider specific population outcomes application, positive-false diagnostic of sarcopenia could be avoided, and more realistic diagnostic will be reached.
