Temporalis muscle thickness as a biomarker for sarcopenia: correlation with appendicular skeletal muscle mass in healthy older adults
Among a cohort of cognitively-unimpaired older adults, TMT demonstrated moderate correlation with ASM. While futher studies are needed, these findings suggest that MRI-based assessement of TMT could be a practical tool to diagnose sarcopenia in AD studies. Future studies in AD patients should explore the relationship between TMT and long-term clinical and functional outcomes.
