Objectives:We planned this study and aimed to investigate the frequency of sarcopenia and the relationship between sarcopenia findings and Covid-19 disease severity in patients with Covid-19.
Patients and Methods:As the study group, 92 patients aged 50 and over years old and whose PCR test results were positive and 45 days passed after the test result and recovered, 92 healthy individuals over 50 years of age, who were not infected with Covid-19, were included in the study group.
Results:While 33.7% of the patient group had severe sarcopenia, 7.61% sarcopenia, 30.43% probable sarcopenia, 28.26% did not have sarcopenia. While 3.26% severe sarcopenia and 10.87% probable sarcopenia were observed in the control group, 85.87% sarcopenia was not observed. The incidence of sarcopenia in the error group was significantly higher than in the control group (p
