Objetivo: investigar la relación entre sarcopenia y velocidad de marcha en personas mayores. Método: revisión integrativa realizada en las bases de datos Embase, PubMed, Scopus y Lilacs. Resultados: la búsqueda inicial generó 5013 resultados, con 18 estudios incluidos, que abarcan 33.833 sujetos de 60 a 90 años. La prevalencia de sarcopenia varió entre 3,7% y 58%. La velocidad media de marcha de los individuos sarcopénicos estuvo por debajo del punto de corte en el 77,8% de los estudios. En el 61,11% de los estudios, el punto de corte de la velocidad de marcha adoptado fue 0,8 m/s, y la prueba de caminata de 4 metros (C4m) fue la más utilizada (38,9%). Conclusión: la velocidad de marcha es un buen predictor de sarcopenia y puede servir como herramienta de cribado para otros testes diagnósticos, aunque la variación en los puntos de corte puede complicar la interpretación.
