Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) is a cheap and simple tool for assessing airway patency and respiratory muscle strength. So far, the impact of PEFR, particularly its longitudinal changes, on the prevalence and incidence of sarcopenia remains underexplored. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional...
