Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this cross-sectional study is to obtain insight in the characteristics (nutritional status and level of physical activity) of sarcopenic compared to non-sarcopenic community-dwelling older people. There is one measurement moment and measurements will take place at the participant's home.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* Characterization of sarcopenic older people (demographics, nutritional status, level of physical activity)
* Prevalence rates of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older people in the Netherlands
* Insight in differences and/or overlap between sarcopenia versus frailty
* Insight in the impact of sarcopenia on economic outcomes
