Agreement and Predictive Validity Using Less‐Conservative Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Sarcopenia Project Weakness Cutpoints

To derive lean mass cutpoints based on a less‐conservative Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) Sarcopenia Project Weakness cutpoint for grip strength (WeakI) and to assess their agreement with European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) and prediction of incident slow walking and mortality.
