Patients with knee or hip replacement, advanced dementia, cerebrovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, or decompensated heart failure and those using drugs that affect muscle functions, such as steroids, were excluded. Comprehensive geriatric assessments and anthropometric measurements of the patients were performed. APMT was assessed with a skinfold caliper. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was based on a low Sonographic Thigh Adjustment Ratio (STAR)\u00a0index (anterior thigh muscle thickness by ultrasonography\/body mass index [BMI] ratio, cutoff points are &lt;1.4 for men and &lt;1.0 for women) and low handgrip strength.

APMT, handgrip strength, anterior thigh muscle thickness, and gait speed were significantly lower in the patients with sarcopenia. The best cutoff points of APMT for sarcopenia were \u226416.5 for women and \u226421.5 for men with areas under the curve of 0.70 and 0.66, respectively, and negative predictive values of 91.2 and
