Factors related with sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity among low- and middle-income settings: the 10/66 DRG study

Abstract Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity research in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) is limited. We investigated sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity prevalence and sociodemographic, bio-clinical and lifestyle factors in LMICs settings. For the purposes of this study, the 10/66 Dementia Res...
