The International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR) Task Force convened in March 2024 to address patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) in the field of sarcopenia. PROMs are crucial to enhance healthcare services at both individual and societal levels. PROMs complement objective outcome measures by cap- turing insights that patients are best suited to judge. In recent years, there has been an increase in the recognition of PROMs’ importance within clinical trials by pharmaceutical industries and regulatory agencies. Consequently, it has become imperative to develop valid and reliable tools tailored to capture various aspects of patient’s ex- perience and health status. This report aims to present the state-of-the-art available and validated PROMs for sarcopenia that can be used within clinical settings by various stakeholders, and to highlight several research gaps and barriers that need to be addressed to expedite and improve the use of these outcome measures within the context of clinical trials.
