- Purpose This study explores correlations of sarcopenia and its proxies, such as history of falls, asthenia, and ambulation issues, with frailty levels among older adults in primary care.Methods In a cohort of 546,590 patients aged 60 years or older, “definite” sarcopenia cases were operationally defined through the use of non-specific diagnostic codes coupled with inspection of free-texts. Proxies of sarcopenia, such as falls history, asthenia, and ambulation issues were considered as well. Frailty was calculated using an Index intended to primary care.Results Overall, 171 definite sarcopenia cases were found, rising to 51,520 cases when including proxies (9.4% prevalence). There was a significant association between severe frailty and increased odds of sarcopenia, consistently observed across different event definitions.Conclusions Sarcopenia was strongly associated with severe frailty in primary care. The history of falls, asthenia, and ambulation issues were reliable proxies to raise the suspect of sarcopenia. Improved strategies for sarcopenia detection, focusing on specific indicators within severely frail individuals, are warranted.
