Sarcopenia is a common yet an underrecognized clinical entity that is associated with multiple health consequences including
high mortality. Though diagnostic criteria are published by different international working groups, there are no unified
criteria to assess severity of sarcopenia. In this brief manuscript, we propose a novel comprehensive sarcopenia staging
system. This assesses risk factors, clinical presentation, and complications of sarcopenia, so as to provide a comprehensive
overview of sarcopenia severity. This staging system is easy to use. It can be used not only at diagnosis but also during
follow-up to assess the treatment response. However, being a novel tool, this needs validation in diverse clinical settings
and across different populations.
