Abstract: Background: Sarcopenia can be characterized by European Consensus for Sarcopenia (EWGSOP2) criteria, but it methods are not easily accessible. Likewise, the Strength, Assistance with walking, Rise from a Chair, Climb stairs and Falls (SARC-F) has been proposed. Objective: The aim of this study was i) to evaluate the prevalence for risk sarcopenia and ii) to correlate the SARC-F with components of the EWGSOP2 consensus in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Measurements: This cross-sectional study enrolled ninety-five (male n= 59; 62%) HD older patients. Sarcopenia risk was assessed using the SARC-F, which ≥4 score indicates sarcopenia risk. Sarcopenia was confirmed through of the EWGSOP2 consensus, including the handgrip strength (HGS
