Purpose There is a need for an easily measurable and reliable surrogate marker for physical
frailty. This study aims to investigate the predictive capacity of adductor pollicis muscle …

Background The adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) is least affected by
subcutaneous adipose tissue and can be measured externally. The aim of this study is to …

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine sensitivity, specificity, and best cutoff point
for adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) for diagnosis of sarcopenia in elderly …

Objective The performance of sarcopenia diagnosis using adductor pollicis muscle
thickness (APMT) has been reported. However, the relationship between APMT and low …

Introduction: the measurement of the adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) has been
investigated as an anthropometric parameter; however, there are few studies related to …

Background and aim The rising aging index of many populations necessitates the
continuous evolution of geriatric assessment methods, especially the ones used to identify …

Objective: The aim of the authors of this study was to determine the reference values for the
Adductor Pollicis Muscle Thickness (APMT) in individuals belonging to a healthy population …

Aim This study aimed to develop appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) estimating
formulas that also consider the presence of paralysis for older adults and people with …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Adductor pollicis muscle is the only muscle which could be directly
assessed, and its thickness could be useful in muscle mass assessment. Our objective is to …

Background Frailty is a geriatric syndrome that is characterized by increased vulnerability to
intrinsic and extrinsic stressors due to decreased biologic reserves. Muscle ultrasound (US) …
