Sarcopenia: Current Concepts and Imaging Implications
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to review the nomenclature, clinical impact, and diagnostic techniques characterizing sarcopenia. CONCLUSION: Sarcopenia-defined as significant loss of muscle-is associated with cachexia and frailty. Specific diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia continue to evolve, but imaging can play a role in the detection and quantification of muscle depletion. Emerging evidence indicates that sarcopenia is a relevant predictor of quality and quantity of life, particularly in patients who are elderly, have cancer, or undergo surgery.

“For example, in relatively healthy older adults followed for 3 years, the annualized rate of leg strength decline was approximately 3–4%, whereas the annualized rate of loss of lean leg mass was approximately 1% by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) [47].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
