Figure 6.
Overall prevalence of sarcopenia by classification and sex. Data presented as prevalence (%) with their respectively 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by classification used. Overall pooled estimates with inverse‐variance weights obtained from a random‐effects model were estimated for the analyses using metaprop in Stata. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I 2 statistic (ranged from 0% to 100%). Due to the low numbers of studies with data available for women, it was impossible to estimate heterogeneity for the EWGSOP2. %, estimated prevalence; AWGS, Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia; EWGSOP, European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People; EWGSOP2, European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2; FNIH, Foundation for the National Institute of Health; IWGS, International Working Group on Sarcopenia.
