概要 Respiratory muscle strength decreases with advancing age, and respiratory muscle dysfunction may indicate respiratory sarcopenia. However, there is no consensus regarding the definition of respiratory sarcopenia. We aimed to create a definition of respiratory sarcopenia based on the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). Conclusions: The definition of respiratory sarcopenia based on PEFR was useful and correlated with conventional sarcopenia and long-term care insurance certification among community-dwelling older people. In this study, respiratory sarcopenia was determined by PEFR alone. Other parameters may need to be considered.
