Methods: A total of 686 community-dwelling older adults (median age: 72; women: 59.2%; physically active: 84%) were included in this cross-sectional analysis (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05148351). Sarcopenia was assessed using the FNIH, EWGSOP2, AWGS, and SDOC algorithms. Reduced muscle power was defined as the lowest sex-specific tertile and measured during the rising phase of the sit-to-stand test using a validated mobile application. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regressions by potential confounders were performed to identify the association between sarcopenia and reduced muscle power with health-related outcomes. Results: Sarcopenia prevalence was 3.4%, 3.8%, 12.4%, and 21.3% according to the SDOC, FNIH, EWGSOP2, and AWGS, respectively. Among these definitions, moderate and large associations with health-related outcomes were observed for EWGSOP2 and SDOC, respectively, but few associations were found for FNIH and AWGS criteria. Reduced muscle power was associated more frequently and moderately with health-related outcomes compared to sarcopenia definitions. These associations remained constant after adjusting for confounders. Conclusions: The prevalence and impact of sarcopenia varied depending on the definitions used. Among the sarcopenia definitions, the SDOC exhibited the strongest associations, while reduced muscle power was the variable most frequently associated with health-related outcomes compared to any of the four sarcopenia definitions in well-functioning and physically active community-dwelling older adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13174988","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,23]],"date-time":"2024-08-23T12:53:19Z","timestamp":1724417599000},"page":"4988","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Comparing Sarcopenia Definitions and Muscle Power Reduction: Associations with Health Outcomes in Spanish Community-Dwelling Older Adults"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8882-4965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Diego","family":"Ruiz-C\u00e1rdenas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Department, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Podiatry and Occupational Therapy, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Murcia, 30120 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3272-6845","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Jos\u00e9","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Juan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Department, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Murcia, Campus de Ciencias de la Salud, 30120 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0657-7129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda del Mar","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Department, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Podiatry and Occupational Therapy, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Murcia, 30120 Murcia, Spain"},{"name":"Cystic Fibrosis Association of Murcia, Av. de las Palmeras, 37, 30120 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4912-0535","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessio","family":"Montemurro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Department, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Podiatry and Occupational Therapy, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Murcia, 30120 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"afae052","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afae052","article-title":"The Conceptual Definition of Sarcopenia: Delphi Consensus from the Global Leadership Initiative in Sarcopenia (GLIS)","volume":"53","author":"Kirk","year":"2024","journal-title":"Age Ageing"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"438","DOI":"10.1093\/gerona\/glt149","article-title":"Prevalence and Clinical Correlates of Sarcopenia in Community-Dwelling Older People: Application of the EWGSOP Definition and Diagnostic Algorithm","volume":"69","author":"Volpato","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
