In the first decade of the twenty‐first century, the relevance of muscle function was so clear that different lines of action were proposed, including the use of different terms to name the condition. Dynapenia and kratopenia were suggested as alternative terms to describe the loss of muscle strength and power [8, 10], and myopenia as an alternative for universal skeletal muscle wasting [11]. However, six different international consensus definitions published at the end of the decade all proposed redefining sarcopenia by adding the loss of muscle mass to the loss of muscle function, with slightly different approaches [10, 12–16].
