Abstract

BACKGROUND: Muscle strength is one of the key components in the diagnosis of sarcopenia. The aim of this study was to train a machine learning model to predict reference values and percentiles for handgrip strength and chair-stand test (CST), in a large cohort of community dwellers recruited in the Longevity check-up (Lookup) 8+ project.
