Abstract Background There is neither a gold standard definition nor universal consensus to diagnose sarcopenia in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Thus, we aimed compare the prevalence of and agreement discrepancies between European Working Group on Sarcopenia Older People (EWGSOP1), EWGSOP2, Foundation for National Institutes Health Biomarkers Consortium Project (FNIH) definitions Methods Dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry was used assess muscle mass by quantifying appendicular lean (ALM)...
