Determination of Ultrasound Reference Values for Diagnosing Low Muscle Mass in Older Chinese Adults
Muscle ultrasound demonstrated excellent inter-rater reliability and stronger associations with adverse health outcomes compared with DXA and BIA, making ultrasound a preferable tool for assessing low muscle mass. This study provides valuable reference values for ultrasound-based diagnosis of sarcopenia in older Chinese adults.
