Sarcopenia case finding results following the EWGSOP algorithm by using either DXA or BIA. For BIA 2 different thresholds for reduced muscle mass were used (denoted as “Janss.” and “Chien”). Although BIA, using the threshold for reduced muscle mass of Chien et al., at first glance leads to a similar result as DXA (11 vs. 13 patients being sarcopenic), it should be noted that actually 2 out of the 11 patients are misclassified, i.e. false positive results, if DXA is taken as reference
