Role of Muscle Ultrasound for the Study of Frailty in Elderly Patients with Diabetes: A Pilot Study
Background: Sarcopenia and diabetes contribute to the development of frailty. Therefore, accessible methods, such as muscle ultrasounds (MUSs), to screen for sarcopenia should be implemented in clinical practice. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional pilot study including 47 patients with diabetes...
