Clinical Trial: Clinical Relevance of Ultrasound-based Intramuscular Fat Infiltration Assessment in Hospitalized Older Adults (FATUS-OLD)

U.S., Feb. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07411547) titled 'Clinical Relevance of Ultrasound-based Intramuscular Fat Infiltration Assessment in Hospitalized Older Adults (FATUS-OLD)' on Feb. 09.

Brief Summary: Sarcopenia in older adults is associated not only with loss of muscle mass but also with deterioration of muscle quality, particularly intramuscular fat infiltration. While muscle mass is commonly assessed, muscle quality remains insufficiently explored in routine clinical practice.

The FATUS-OLD study aims to evaluate the clinical relevance of a novel ultrasound-based multiparametric approach to assess intramuscular fat infiltration and muscle volume in hospitalized older adults unde...
