Presentation of study sample data for individual sarcopenic parameters stratified by sex across ages 40–84. a = grip strength among women with cut-off < 16 kg. b = grip strength among men with cut-off < 27 kg. c = five-repetition chair stands among women with cut-off > 15 s. d = five-repetition chair stands among men with cut-off > 15 s. e = appendicular lean mass relative to body height among women relative with cut-off < 5.5 kg/m2. f = appendicular lean mass relative to body height among men with cut-off < 7.0 kg/m2. Cut-offs are based on the EWGSOP2 definition and are represented by the red dashed line. The Tromsø Study 2015–16
