Brief Summary
Sarcopenia and frailty are two major syndromes in older adults. They are shown to be associated with low levels of functioning and higher rates of morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aim to report the prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty by using simple assessment methods such as SARC-F and FRAIL, respectively.
