Abstract

Early sarcopenia detection using screening tools, such as SARC-F and SARC-CalF, has been proven reliable. However, the relationship between chronic musculoskeletal pain with sarcopenia is unknown. This study assessed sarcopenia morbidity as well as the reliability of sarcopenia screening with SARC-F and SARC-CalF in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
