The aim of this systematic review and meta-analyses was to calculate the pooled prevalence of sarcopenia based on the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria among Japanese community-dwelling older adults. Data from 8 studies were used to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia in the overall population and in men; data from 9 studies were used to determine that of women. The pooled prevalence rates of sarcopenia using random-effects models were 9.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.2%-15.4%) overall; 9.8% (95% CI, 6.2%-15.2%) among men; and 10.1% (95% CI, 6.4%-15.5%) among women. These findings would be useful to inform community-based strategies and advanced research addressing sarcopenia prevention.
本系统评价和荟萃分析的目的是根据亚洲肌少症工作组（AWGS）的标准，计算日本社区居住老年人中肌少症的合并患病率。8项研究的数据用于确定总体人群和男性中肌少症的患病率；9项研究的数据用于确定女性中肌少症的患病率。使用随机效应模型得出的肌少症合并患病率总体为9.9%（95%置信区间[CI]，6.2%-15.4%）；男性为9.8%（95%CI，6.2%-15.2%）；女性为10.1%（95%CI，6.4%-15.5%）。这些发现将有助于为基于社区的策略和预防肌少症进行的深入研究提供信息。
