Assessing the ability of SARC-F to reflect elastography-based muscle quality in older adults
SARC-F is a practical screening tool for sarcopenia risk but may not adequately reflect muscle quality. These findings suggest that incorporating muscle quality assessments (e.g. shear-wave elastography) into sarcopenia screening may improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical management.
