Abstract
Neither a single nor a combined set of tested biomarkers reflected the presence of dynapenia or sarcopenia in elderly women. However, due to the associations of IGF-1 and GDF-15 with correlates of muscle mass and function, these parameters remain promising candidates in a potential set of blood-based biomarkers to diagnose sarcopenia and/or dynapenia.
