Objectives To evaluate the correlation between simple planimetric measurements in axial
computed tomography (CT) slices and measurements of patient body composition and …

As populations continue to age worldwide, the impact of sarcopenia on public health will
continue to grow. The clinically relevant and increasingly common diagnosis of sarcopenia …

Loss of mass and functional capacity of skeletal muscle is a major cause of morbidity in
older individuals as well as in patients affected by a host of acute and chronic conditions …

Measurements of skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (SMA) at the level of the third lumbar
(L3) vertebra derived from clinical computed tomography (CT) scans are commonly used in …

Background: Muscle quality is associated with fatty degeneration or infiltration of the muscle,
which may be associated with decreased muscle function and increased disability …

Objective The aim of the study was to explore an individualized sonographic muscle
thickness ratio and its cutoff values in the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Design A total of 326 …

Sarcopenia indicates a loss of skeletal muscle mass, a condition that leads to a decline in
physical performance. In 2018, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People …

Recently, sarcopenia has garnered renewed interest. Sarcopenia is a disease characterized
by decreased skeletal muscle mass and strength/function, which can impair the quality of life …

Objectives Cross-sectional area (CSA) measurements of the neck musculature at the level of
third cervical vertebra (C3) on CT scans are used to diagnose radiological sarcopenia …

Background Although CT-based body composition (BC) metrics may inform disease risk and
outcomes, obtaining these metrics has been too resource intensive for large-scale use …
