Cross-sectional and cohort studies reporting prevalence were included. The primary outcome was the prevalence of different types of sarcopenias (probable, confirmed, or severe). Risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. Pooled prevalence with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated using a random-effects model in R software.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 5,486 records retrieved, we included 44 studies for final review. Consensus-based definitions, such as Asian and European working group criteria, were used in 54.5% (n= 24) studies, while the remaining used heterogeneous, nonuniform operational criteria. The pooled prevalence of probable, confirmed, and severe sarcopenia was 36.3% (95% CI: 26\u201348%, 18 studies), 35.4% (95% CI: 28.8\u201342.5%, 38 studies), and 9.9% (95% CI: 5.6\u201316.7%, 11 studies), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Interpretation and conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Over one in three individuals in India had sarcopenia.
