Sarcopenia Assessment Calculator
Assess for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) using the EWGSOP2 diagnostic criteria for muscle strength, mass, and performance.

EWGSOP2 Findings
Low muscle strength: No
Low muscle mass: No
Low performance: No
Interpretation
No evidence of sarcopenia based on current assessment. Continue healthy lifestyle.
Recommendations
- • Vitamin D supplementation if deficient
- • Regular monitoring (every 6-12 months)
EWGSOP2 Algorithm
1. Low strength → Probable sarcopenia
2. + Low muscle mass → Confirmed sarcopenia
3. + Low performance → Severe sarcopenia
Disclaimer: Sarcopenia assessment requires accurate measurements by trained personnel. Muscle mass estimation without DXA is approximate. Consult a healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment planning.
