Is low pulmonary function related with a high risk of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults : the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey ( KNHANES ) 2008-2011?

This study emphasises the need for further standardisations, in order to enhance the relevance of international comparisons of infant mortality.
