Abstract

Abstract: In China，the prevalence of sarcopenia is growing along with rapidly increased aging population.Sarcopenia is closely associated with poor health outcomes of the elderly，suggesting that screening of sarcopenia in this group should be strengthened.At present，there are various screening tools for sarcopenia.We reviewed the kinds，application，sensitivity，specificity，area under ROC curve and other indicators of common screening tools for sarcopenia in the elderly，providing a basis for early detection of high-risk population of sarcopenia and timely delivery of relevant interventions.

Key words: Sarcopenia, Screening tools, Aged, Review

摘要： 随着我国人口老龄化进程加速，患有肌肉减少症的老年人数量逐渐增加，而肌肉减少症与老年人不良健康结局密切相关，提示应加强对老年人肌肉减少症的筛查。目前有多种肌肉减少症筛查工具，本文就老年人群中常见的肌肉减少症筛查工具的种类、应用及灵敏度、特异度、受试者工作特征曲线下面积等指标进行综述，为早期发现肌肉减少症高危人群，及时采取相关干预措施提供依据。
