: 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...
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...

In liver transplantation (LT), determining the optimal recipients is crucial, and the MELD score has been used for this purpose. However, the MELD score does not reflect functional status, leading to the evaluation of sarcopenia. While the L3 skeleta...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and strength) increases adverse outcomes risk and contributes to cognitive decline in older adults. Accurate methods to quantify muscle mass and predict adverse outcomes, particularly in older persons with ...

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is an age-related progressive skeletal muscle disease that leads to loss of muscle mass and function, resulting in adverse health outcomes such as falls, functional decline, and death. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chro...

OBJECTIVES: Sarcopenic obesity (SO), characterized by the coexistence of obesity and sarcopenia, is an increasingly prevalent condition in aging populations, associated with numerous adverse health outcomes. We aimed to identify and validate an expla...
