Summary

Primary sarcopenia is a condition that occurs with the aging process and is characterized by symptoms such as decreased muscle mass, impaired muscle function and decreased physical strength. The decrease in muscle mass can lead to a decrease in physical strength, balance and mobility, making older people more prone to frailty and falls, which can lead to a fear of falling. Although there are few studies on sarcopenia in the literature, the level of frailty in sarcopenia is related to balance, falls risk and kinesiophobia in sarcopenia.

Our aim in the study was to measure frailty in elderly individuals diagnosed with sarcopenia and to determine the level of frailty.

to evaluate the effect of sarcopenia on fall risk, balance and kinesiophobia and to evaluate the effect of sarcopenia on fall risk, balance and kinesiophobia according to the results of the evaluation and new rehabilitation programs on frailty, falls, kinesiophobia and balance resulting from sarcopenia and to be the basic data for the programs to be created.
