Popis: To identify older surgical cancer patients at risk of decreased postoperative recovery of physical activity (PA), this study assesses whether preoperative radiological sarcopenia (RS) is associated with a decreased ability to return to baseline PA. RS was defined as decreased psoas muscle mass or -density by gender-specific cut-offs on CT-scans at level of vertebra L3. PA was assessed as steps/day measured with PA tracker and recovery of PA was defined as >90% of preoperative steps/day at 3 months postoperatively. Of 44 included patients aged 65 and over undergoing oncologic surgery, 18 patients (41%) showed RS. Seventeen patients (39%) returned to baseline PA, of which eight patients had RS (47%). RS was not associated with a return to baseline PA (OR: 1.38, 95%CI 0.39–4.92, p = 0.61). In this exploratory study, no association was found between preoperative RS and recovery of PA postoperatively.
