Abstract
Sarcopenia is a geriatric muscle disease characterized by the loss of muscle mass, strength, and physical function. To better reflect the unique characteristics of sarcopenia in Korean older adults, the Korean Working Group on Sarcopenia (KWGS) developed a diagnostic algorithm, including a new category of "functional sarcopenia." This study aimed to establish evidence-based exercise guidelines tailored to the KWGS framework.
