A total 629 middle-aged older adults were enrolled in cross-sectional study. Anthropometrics assessed. Self-reported PA adherence Mediterranean diet evaluated Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) Prevention Diet questionnaire (PREDIMED), respectively. functional assessment included handgrip strength, lower body gait speed agility/dynamic balance. Of participants, 4.84% 7.33% showed probable Sarcopenia confirmed 1.16% 2.93% participants.
