A sarcopenia prediction model based on the calf maximum muscle circumference measured by ultrasound.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The correlation between calf circumference（CC）and sarcopenia has been demonstrated, but the correlation between calf maximum muscle circumference (CMMC) measured by ultrasound and sarcopenia has not been reported. We aims to construct a predictive model for sarcopenia based on CMMC in hospitalized older patients.

Methods

This was a retrospective controlled study of patients > 60 years of age hospitalized in the geriatric department of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital. The patients were thoroughly evaluated by questionnaires, laboratory, and ultrasound examinations, including measuring muscle thickness and calf muscle maximum circumference using ultrasound. Patients were categorized into sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups according to the consensus for diagnosi
