Sarcopenia Risk Screen
How to use this calculator
A hand dynamometer gives grip strength (many pharmacies and gyms have one); gait speed can be measured by timing a normal-pace 4-metre walk; calf circumference is measured at its widest point with a tape measure. Grip strength alone is enough to run the screen β the other two sharpen it.
What your result means
This applies the EWGSOP2 (European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People) cutoffs used in clinical screening for age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). It flags whether your numbers fall below the reference thresholds for your sex β it is a screening indicator to bring up with a doctor, not a diagnosis.
What people say
"Never heard of EWGSOP2 before β good to know my grip strength is actually a real clinical marker."
β Robert H.
"Used it before and after 3 months of strength training β numbers moved in the right direction."
