Correlation between individual thigh muscle volume and grip strength in relation to sarcopenia with automated muscle segmentation
The findings indicate that stronger grip strength correlates with larger thigh muscles in males but not in females, with specific muscles like the Rectus femoris and Vastus lateralis linked to sarcopenia in men only. The study's small sample size calls for further research with more diverse and gender-balanced groups to verify these results.
