Do you know how to detect a patient at risk of sarcopenic obesity? The EASO-ESPEN 2022 consensus indicates which clinical situations you should take into account:
An elevated BMI or waist circumference (based on ethnic cut-off points)
The presence of alternative parameters of sarcopenia (clinical symptoms, clinical suspicion or questionnaires (e.g. SARC-F in elderly individuals). Both conditions must be present to make the diagnostic process of sarcopenia.
For more information see Definition and Diagnostic Criteria for Sarcopenic Obesity: ESPEN and EASO Consensus Statement (nih.gov).
