Abstract
An equation incorporating age, weight, sex, and race to estimate eCER is highly correlated with FFM in community-dwelling older persons and provides a more precise estimate than spot UCr. A simple screening tool for sarcopenia in older persons may allow interventions to maintain or improve muscle mass. Future studies should evaluate whether eCER predicts sarcopenia-related frailty and mortality in older persons.
