Assessing the ability of SARC-F to reflect elastography-based muscle quality in older adults.

Puntos clave

• To evaluate whether SARC-F effectively reflects muscle quality as measured by elastography in older adults.
• Assessment of SARC-F as a screening tool for sarcopenia risk among older adults.
• Use of shear-wave elastography to measure muscle quality.
• Comparison of SARC-F results with elastography findings.
• SARC-F does not adequately reflect muscle quality as determined by elastography.
• Incorporating muscle quality assessments may improve diagnostic accuracy for sarcopenia.
• Enhanced assessment methods could lead to better clinical management of sarcopenia.
