Abstract: Dear Editor, we read the article "Sarcopenia Prevalence Among Hospitalized Patients with Severe Obesity: An Observational Study" and found it to be of great interest. The exploration of this important topic is highly commendable; however, we would like to highlight a critical issue that has not been fully addressed in this study. Specifically, the study does not fully adhere to the consensus definition of sarcopenic obesity (SO) as outlined by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO), as we will explain below.
