Association between BIA-derived Phase Angle and Sarcopenia and Improvement in Activities of Daily Living and Dysphagia in Patients undergoing Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

ConclusionBIA-derived phase angle was positively associated with the recovery of physical function and dysphagia level and negatively associated with baseline sarcopenia in patients undergoing post-stroke rehabilitation. The BIA-derived phase angle cutoff for sarcopenia diagnosis was 4.76 ° for men and 4.11° for women.
