Both SARC‐F and SARC‐CalF have been shown to be excellent, quick‐to‐use screening tools for sarcopenia. SARC‐F is now recommended for screening by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 [42], the International Conference on Sarcopenia and Frailty Research [43], and the Society of Sarcopenia, Cachexia and Wasting Disorders [44]. This rapid screen should be done yearly as part of the Annual Medicare Wellness examination in the United States [45] and included in the primary care physician’s armamentarium to screen all persons 65 years or older at least once a year. Persons who screen positive should be encouraged to become involved in an exercise program.
