The SARC-F questionnaire has low diagnostic accuracy, which limits its usefulness as a sarcopenia screening tool. Incorporating two simple anthropometric measurements, ie, arm and calf circumference, notably improves the diagnostic performance of SARC-F. Based on our results, SARC-CalF+AC seems to be the best screening tool for sarcopenia screening in community-dwelling older adults.
