A cohort study, with patients on HD age ≥ 18 years, both sex, between June 2019 and April 2023. Body composition (anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance), muscle functional (handgrip strength and gait speed), screening of sarcopenia using the SARC-F and SARC-CalF, nutritional status and laboratory data were assessed. Follow-up for mortality up to 47 months. The sample consisted of 243 participants and the prevalence of risk of sarcopenia using SARC-F and SARC-CalF were 30% and 45%, respectively; 65 died for all reasons and three patients were censored due to transplantation.
