Sarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome that has been acknowledged and coded in the ICD-10 as of October 2016. It is not well recognized among healthcare providers despite the serious risks to quality of life, including mobility, independence, and mortality in acute and chronically ill patients. Prompt recognition and treatment is essential to preventing or delaying the development of sarcopenia.
