Overview
Brief Summary
The loss of muscle mass is one of the major diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia. Many methods are also used for the definition of sarcopenia. However there is no information about cut-off values in this respect in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the cut-off values of this ratio for confirming the diagnosis of sarcopenia.
Detailed Description
Decreases in total skeletal muscle mass are accepted to be necessary for confirming the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Many methods are also used for the definition of sarcopenia. However, ultrasound measurements has a high sensitivity and specify for confirming the diagnosis of sarcopenia. However there is no information about cut-off values in this respect in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the cut-off values of this ratio for confirming the diagnosis of sarcopenia.
