Association Between Dynapenic Abdominal Obesity and Fall Risk in Older Adults

Danmei Lv et al.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between dynapenic abdominal obesity and fall risk in older adults. The results suggested that older adults with dynapenic abdominal obesity have a higher risk of falls. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to dynapenic abdominal obesity and implement relevant interventions.

Thickness of Biceps and Quadriceps Femoris Muscle Measured Using Point-of-Care Ultrasound as a Representation of Total Skeletal Muscle Mass

Rianne N. M. Hogenbirk et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) could be used as an easy-to-use bedside measurement alternative to evaluate muscle status. The results showed a significant correlation between POCUS-measured muscle thickness and CT-derived skeletal muscle index (SMI), suggesting that handheld ultrasound is a valid tool for assessing skeletal muscle status.

A pilot study examining the use of ultrasound to measure sarcopenia, frailty and fall in older patients

Emily Benton et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ultrasonographic measurements in assessing frailty in the emergency department. The results showed that ultrasound measurements of muscle thickness and asymmetry were moderately associated with frailty, falls, subsequent hospitalizations, and ED revisits.

A rapid point-of-care ultrasound marker for muscle mass and muscle strength in older adults

Kenneth M. Madden et al.

Summary: The study found that ultrasonic measures of muscle thickness were significantly correlated with both muscle quantity and strength in older adults, showing potential as a screening tool for sarcopenia, especially in relation to measures such as lean body mass and mid-arm biceps circumference.

Exploring the Association Between Measures of Obesity and Measures of Trip-induced Fall Risk Among Older Adults

Noah J. Rosenblatt et al.

Summary: This study found that waist-to-hip ratio and fat mass index may be more closely related to trip-induced fall risk among community-dwelling older adults, rather than BMI. Participants with high waist-to-hip ratios and high fat mass indices were more likely to experience difficulties in recovery.

Quantitative sonographic assessment of quadriceps muscle thickness for fall injury prediction in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis: an observational cohort study

Asuka Sai et al.

Summary: Quadriceps muscle thickness measured using ultrasonography is an accurate predictor of fall injury in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. It is easily measured at the bedside and plays a critical role in risk assessment for fall prevention.

Muscle Thickness and Echogenicity Measured by Ultrasound Could Detect Local Sarcopenia and Malnutrition in Older Patients Hospitalized for Hip Fracture

Alejandro Sanz-Paris et al.

Summary: This study found that muscle thickness and echogenicity were associated with malnutrition, sarcopenia, and functional capacity in acute hospital admission for a hip fracture. Specifically, masseter thickness was linked to dysphagia risk, biceps thickness to self-feeding ability, and quadriceps RF-VI thickness to mobility.
