BACKGROUND: Early detection is clinically crucial for the strategic handling of sarcopenia, yet the screening process, which includes assessments of muscle mass, strength, and function, remains complex and difficult to access.
BACKGROUND: Older patients with cardiovascular disease often experience frailty and sarcopenia. We evaluated whether a reduced blood flow in the splenic and portal vein is associated with frailty and sarcopenia in older patients with cardiovascular d...
Sarcopenia, affecting between 1-29% of the older population, is characterized by an age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Reduced muscle strength, either in terms of quantity or quality, and poor physical performance are among the cr...
BACKGROUND: Individuals with chronic diseases are at higher risk of sarcopenia, and precise prediction is essential for its prevention. This study aims to develop a risk scoring model using longitudinal data to predict the probability of sarcopenia i...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Low muscle mass (LMM) is a critical complication in patients with obesity and diabetes, exacerbating metabolic and cardiovascular risks. Novel obesity indices, such as the body roundness index (BRI), conicity index, and relative ...
: Cancer and related treatments can impair body composition (BC), increasing the risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia, poor prognosis, and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). To enhance BC parameter interpretation through Bioelectrical Impedance A...
The use of machine learning (ML) techniques, particularly XGBoost and logistic regression, to predict sarcopenia among postsurgical gastric cancer patients has gained significant attention in recent research. Sarcopenia, characterized by the progress...
Sarcopenia and body composition metrics are strongly associated with patient outcomes. In this study, we developed and validated a flexible, open-access pipeline integrating available deep learning-based segmentation models with pre- and postprocessi...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is associated with decreased survival in cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was widely used in image-guided radiotherapy. Sarcopenia is assessed by the skeletal muscle index...
