The strength, assistance in walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls (SARC-F) questionnaire is a simple screening tool for evaluating sarcopenia; however, no validated Hindi version is currently available for use in Indian oncology practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>AIM<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>To translate and culturally adapt the SARC-F questionnaire into Hindi and assess its reliability and content validity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>METHODS<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This single-center cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary cancer center in India. The questionnaire was translated using forward-backward translation following World Health Organization and International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research guidelines. Pilot testing assessed clarity and cultural relevance. Adult Hindi-speaking cancer patients completed the finalized questionnaire. Reliability and content validity were evaluated using Cronbach\u2019s alpha and content validity indices, and descriptive statistics with Pearson correlation analyses were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>RESULTS<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 100 patients were included (mean age 50.9 \u00b1 12.6 years; 63% female). The Hindi SARC-F demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 = 0.70). Content validity was excellent, with a scale-level content validity index of 0.92 and item-level indices ranging from 0.80 to 1.00. The median SARC-F score was 1 (interquartile range 0-3). No statistically significant correlations were observed between SARC-F scores and age, performance status, or body composition parameters (all P  &gt; 0.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The Hindi SARC-F is linguistically valid, culturally appropriate, and suitable for functional sarcopenia screening in Hindi-speaking cancer patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5662\/wjm.120002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,10]],"date-time":"2026-07-10T06:13:49Z","timestamp":1783664029000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Translation of the strength, assistance in walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls questionnaire into Hindi"],"prefix":"10.5662","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Harsha S","family":"Prakash","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amit","family":"Sehrawat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arti","family":"Rana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anusha Mruthyunjaya","family":"Swamy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sai","family":"Prasath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahesh","family":"Koulagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deepak","family":"Sundriyal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afy169"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.semcdb.2015.09.001"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejca.2015.12.030"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamda.2019.12.012"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcsm.12048"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamda.2013.05.018"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamda.2012.10.009"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamda.2019.12.011"},{"key":"B9","unstructured":"Language Census Data [Internet].
