SARC-F includes five components: strength, assistance walking, rise from a chair, climbing stairs and history of falls, and can be used in the screening phase for older adults, since it has not been currently validated in younger age categories.
“For example, the SARC-F [31,32] includes fi ve components: strength, assistance walking, rise from a chair, climbing stairs and history of falls, and can be used in the screening phase for older adults, since it has not been currently validated in younger age categories.”
From Definition and diagnostic criteria for sarcopenic obesity: ESPEN and EASO consensus statement (2022) · cites this paper as [31]
SARC-F is a validated screening tool for sarcopenia.
“The SARC-F (Strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls) is a validated screening tool for sarcopenia [9, 10]”
From Sex-specific predictive ability of SARC-F and SARC-CalF for ultrasound-based sarcopenia in older adults (2026) · cites this paper as [9]
SARC-F demonstrates high specificity but low sensitivity, which limits its standalone utility.
“While SARC-F demonstrates high specificity, its low sensitivity limits its standalone utility, highlighting its role in identifying individuals who require further diagnostic evaluation.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
