Abstract

Objective To assess the application value of a screening tool—finger-ring test in sarcopenia screening for older adults in the community. Methods The finger-ring test was used to evaluate the sarcopenia for 303 community older adults who met the criteria. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia(AWGS) was used for golden criteria. The indicators including sensitivity,specificity,Youden index,likelihood ratio,predictive value,and Kappa coefficient were applied to evaluate the diagnostic appropriateness of the finger-ring test. Results According to the AWGS diagnostic criteria,there were 80 older adults with sarcopenia and 223 older adults without sarcopenia. The finger-ring test had a sensitivity of 70.00%,specificity of 85.65%,Youden index of 0.56,positive and negative likelihood ratios of 4.88 and 0.35,positive and negative predictive values of 63.64% and 88.84%,and Kappa coefficient of 0.46. Conclusion The finger-ring test,as a self-screening tool,has good screening value and can be used to screen for sarcopenia for the older adults in the community.
