Comparison of the diagnosis of sarcopenia between baseline and 12-week intervention among older adults in a geriatric rehabilitation center.

	Baseline	12-week intervention	p-value
No sarcopenia (n, %) Normal HGS	15 (29.4)	32 (62.7)	< 0.001*
Probable sarcopenia (n, %) Low HGS and normal SMM	19 (37.3)	10 (19.6)	0.002*
Confirmed sarcopenia (n, %) Low HGS and low SMM	10 (19.6)	6 (11.8)	0.002*
Severe sarcopenia (n, %) Low HGS, low SMM and low functionality	7 (13.7)	3 (5.9)	< 0.001*

HGS: handgrip strength; SMM: skeletal muscle mass.
