Abstract

Introduction: In addition to being prevalent in the elderly population, sarcopenia has become a precursor to functional decline among this population. Alternative means for screening is necessary. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the SARC-F sarcopenia screening instrument. Methods: The sample consisted of 153 elderly of both sexes. Screening of sarcopenia was evaluated by the SARC-F questionnaire. Muscle strength, function and mass were evaluated through the protocol adapted from the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP). The sensitivity and specificity of the questionnaire were evaluated using the ROC curve. Results: 13.72% of the elderly evaluated were classified as sarcopenic. The most related sarcopenia parameters were higher age and lack of physical exercise. Sex was not a related parameter in the classification. Sensitivity was 60.0% and specificity of 80.92% with an area under the curve of 0.70. Conclusion: Our data support the use of SARC-F as a screening tool that may be used in community and hospital environments as a quick screening instrument.
