Increased intramuscular adipose tissue of the quadriceps at admission is more strongly related to activities of daily living recovery at discharge compared to muscle mass loss in older patients with aspiration pneumonia
BackgroundRecent studies reported that an increase in intramuscular adipose tissue of the quadriceps in older patients negatively affects the...
-
Ultrasound quadriceps muscle thickness is variably associated with frailty in haemodialysis recipients
BackgroundUltrasonographic quantitation of quadriceps muscle mass is increasingly used for assessment of sarcopenia, but its relationship with...
