Diagnostic ultrasound estimates of muscle mass and muscle quality discriminate between women with and without sarcopenia

Diagnostic ultrasound estimates of muscle mass and muscle quality discriminate between women with and without sarcopenia

Introduction: Age-related changes in muscle mass and muscle tissue composition contribute to diminished strength in older adults. The objectives of this study are to examine if an assessment method using mobile diagnostic ultrasound augments well-known determinants of lean body mass (LBM) to aid sar...
