Brief Summary

Sarcopenia and malnutrition are two geriatric syndromes that are frequently seen in the elderly and have multifactorial etiology and severe clinical effects. However, the results vary widely due to the many methods and criteria used in the diagnosis and prevalence rates of both syndromes. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between the GLIM (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition) criteria and various sarcopenia levels, which are newly defined worldwide and have the widest spectrum so far in describing malnutrition.
