Abstract Objectives To develop strategies against sarcopenia, physiological and biochemical data in older women were analyzed using propensity score matching. Methods Fifty-six women aged ≥75 years with the AWGS calf circumference Results The possible-sarcopenia group with low muscle strength exhibited significantly lower BMD (p=0.014) and skeletal muscle mass index score (p=0.002) compared to the sarcopenia risk group without low muscle strength. The possible-sarcopenia group with low physical performance exhibited significantly lower AST (p=0.034) compared to the sarcopenia risk group without low physical performance. Conclusion These results suggest that older women with possible sarcopenia and low muscle strength may have reduced BMD and skeletal muscle mass index.
