Correlation between individual thigh muscle volume and grip strength in relation to sarcopenia with automated muscle segmentation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Grip strength serves as a significant marker for diagnosing and assessing sarcopenia, particularly in elderly populations. The study aims to explore the relationship between individual thigh muscle volumes and grip strength, leveraging advanced AI-based UNETR segmentation techniques for accurate muscle volume assessment.

Methods

The study included 49 participants from a cohort of 478 patients diagnosed with hip fractures at Gyeongsang National University Hospital. We recorded Grip strength and height and utilized UNETR-based segmentation techniques on CT scans, to calculate individual thigh muscle volumes. Point-biserial correlation was employed to explore the relationship between sarcopenia and thigh muscle volumes. The research also included a quantile analysi
