Predictive Value of Gluteal Muscle Index for Diagnosing Sarcopenia in Community-Dwelling Adults
The present study highlights the potential of GMI as a clinically meaningful predictor of sarcopenia, outperforming the psoas muscle in diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, the sex-specific cutoff values identified from the study could aid in early detection and risk stratification, offering a novel approach for sarcopenia assessment in community-dwelling adults.
