Abbreviations: CFS, clinical frailty scale; AWGS; Asia Working Group on Sarcopenia; EWGSOP, European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People; FNIH, The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Biomarkers Consortium Sarcopenia Project; SDOC, Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium. ^(a) Positive correlation coefficients (r) indicate low grip strength correlating with frailty on the CFS (ordinal scale). ^(b) Correlation coefficients (r) were reversed to enable better reading: Positive correlation coefficients indicate low grip strength correlating with slower gait speed (continuous scale).
