Sarcopenia diagnosis section:

...including the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP). Their consensus definition is:[ref]

1. A low muscle mass, (e.g. >2 standard deviations below that mean measured in young adults [aged 18–39 years in the 3rd NHANES population] of the same sex and ethnic background) and either, 2. Low gait speed (e.g. a walking speed below 0.8 m/s in the 4-m walking test). or 3. Low muscular strength (e.g. grip strength: <30kg in males, <20kg in females)

Severe sarcopenia requires the presence of all three conditions.
