Abstract
Aim: The aim is to assess the risk of sarcopenia and associated factors among community-dwelling older adults in Israel. Findings: Based on a nationally representative survey, 65.1% of adults aged 65 and older were at risk for sarcopenia and identify key associated factors including older age, Arab ethnicity, lower education, polypharmacy, physical inactivity, and functional limitations. Message: Early screening for sarcopenia should be integrated into routine care for older adults, particularly those with known risk factors.
