Rectus femoris cross sectional area and timed up and go test potential useful of as a predictor of sarcopenia and mortality in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Sarcopenia is prevalent in IPF patients and is associated with greater disease severity and reduced quality of life. RFCSA, BCM, and TUG are good predictors of sarcopenia and 12-month mortality, improving the prognostic value of classical diagnostics based on EWGSOP2 criteria. Despite limitations such as a predominantly male sample and cross-sectional design, the findings emphasize the importance of early detection and targeted interventions. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to better understand sarcopenia progression in IPF and evaluate the efficacy of various therapeutic approaches.
