Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Studies from Federal University Ceara Update Current Data on Muscular Atrophy (Comparison of the Performance of Instruments for Screening Sarcopenia In Older Adults)

Article Description
To compare the performance of the SARC-F and SARC Calf questionnaires in sarcopenia screening and their relationship with clinical and sociodemographic aspects of older adults. Analytical cross-sectional study carried out with 739 elderly people in the community. Clinical, sociodemographic, anthropometric data and screening for signs suggestive of sarcopenia were obtained using the SARC-F and SARC Calf. Evaluation by method showed a difference in the proportion of positive results for the SARC-F regarding female sex (71.7; p = 0.001), among older adults who did not have a partner (49.7; p < 0.001), and osteoarticular diseases (13.4; p < 0.001). On the other hand, the SARC Calf identified a higher proportion of positive results among older adults at risk of malnutrition (12.2; p < 0.001). The performance of the instruments varied according to the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of the population, and it is up to professionals to consider these aspects when using them.
