Incidence, reversibility, risk factors and the protective effect of high body mass index against sarcopenia in community‐dwelling older Chinese adults

High body mass index is protective against sarcopenia incidence and its reversibility. Increasing physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight could be beneficial in the prevention of sarcopenia. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2014; 14 (Suppl. 1): 15–28.
