Recent Sarcopenia Definitions-Variability in Prevalence and Disability Associations in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sarcopenia is common in chronic kidney disease, but no unified consensus exists regarding its diagnostic criteria. New definitions, including the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC), define sarcopenia based on decreased muscle function without measuring muscle mass. However, the application and relationship of newer definitions to functional disability in end-stage kidney disease, particularly among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, remain underexplored. This study evaluated the prevalence and concordance of sarcopenia using older and recent definitions and their association with functional limitations in PD patients.

Methods

This cross-sectional study evaluated Thai chronic PD patients (n = 384) with complete measurements for sarcopenia (BIA, h
