Sarcopenia indicates a loss of skeletal muscle mass, a condition that leads to a decline in
physical performance. In 2018, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People …

Abstract Background/Objective: There is increasing use of computed tomography (CT) in
sarcopenia research using a wide variety of techniques. We performed a systematic review …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to review the emerging field of opportunistic CT,
which can be used to screen patients for osteoporosis and sarcopenia. CONCLUSION …

Background CT-based body composition measures derived from fully automated artificial
intelligence tools are promising for opportunistic screening. However, body composition …

Background Whether low muscle mass is a risk factor for disability and mortality is unclear.
Associations between approximations of muscle mass (including lean mass from dual …

Objectives To evaluate the correlation between simple planimetric measurements in axial
computed tomography (CT) slices and measurements of patient body composition and …

Purpose Body composition is of great prognostic value in several severe diseases, including
different types of cancer as well as cardiometabolic disorders. We aimed to investigate the …

Body composition analysis based on the characterization of different tissue compartments is
currently experiencing increasing attention by a broad range of medical disciplines for both …

Abstract Purpose of Review Osteoporosis is disproportionately common in rheumatology
patients. For the past three decades, the diagnosis of osteoporosis has benefited from well …

Low‐radiodensity skeletal muscle has been related to the degree of muscle fat infiltration
and seems to be associated with worse outcomes. The aim of this study was to summarize …
