Evidence source and scope

Clinical correlates of sarcopenia and falls in Parkinson's disease.

This note indexes a cited or audit-added source. It may be an original study, review, guideline, form or methods reference. Treat the specific design and the evidence below as authoritative; a source note is not automatically a primary study.

Limitations: Only current scoped checks; archived captures not authenticated against live originals.

Parkinson’s disease strength

Parkinson’s disease strength component — Cross-sectional sarcopenia/falls construct and grip result

Tables match 218 PD participants, 210 with falls data, 92 past-six-month fallers and grip medians 21.3/22.0 kg, p=.291. Methods confirms ON testing and better-hand trial mean; final model retains SARC-F and duration.

Limitations: AI-assisted source comparison; no raw-data verification.

Parkinson’s disease strength component — Sarcopenia constructs and SARC-F content

Lima Methods distinguishes SARC-F screening from low measured strength; its five items explicitly cover strength, walking, chair rise, stairs and falls. The 2019 EWGSOP 2 primary indexed abstract (DOI 10.1093/ageing/afy 169, PMID 30312372) independently supports low strength as the principal indicator, low muscle quantity/quality for confirmation and poor physical performance for severity. Report correctly separates those constructs and warns about shared outcome content.
