Abstract
Rationale: Anthropometric measurements, as well as handgrip strength (HGS), are simple, low-cost and easily available methods that, in combination, can be useful to assess phenotypic criterion of muscle mass in malnutrition. This study aimed to develop and validate a grading system for assessing muscle mass phenotype based on the combination of the mid-upper arm muscle area (MUAMA) and HGS in patients with incurable cancer.
