The muscle mass was estimated according to a previously validated anthropometric equation. Handgrip strength was measured with a handheld dynamometer, and physical performance was measured via a 4\u2009m walking test. Sarcopenia was defined according to the recommended diagnostic algorithm of the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia. The survival status and readmission information were obtained via telephone interviews at 12, 24, and 36\u2009months during the 3\u2009year follow\u2010up period following the baseline investigation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two hundred and eighty\u2010eight participants (mean age: 81.1\u2009\u00b1\u20096.6\u2009years) were included. Forty\u2010nine participants (17.0%) were identified as having sarcopenia. This condition was similar in men and women (16.9% vs. 17.5%, respectively, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.915). During the 3\u2009year follow\u2010up period, 49 men (22.7%) and 9 women (16.4%) died (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.307). The mortality of sarcopenic participants was significantly increased compared with non\u2010sarcopenic participants (40.8% vs. 17.1%, respectively, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). After adjusting for age, sex and other confounders, sarcopenia was an independent predictor of 3\u2009year mortality (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.49; 95% confidential interval: 1.25\u20134.95) and
