Frailty resulting from the loss of muscle quality can potentially be delayed through early detection and physical exercise interventions. There is a demand for cost-effective tools objective evaluation quality, in both cross-sectional longitudinal assessments. Literature suggests that quantitative analysis ultrasound data captures morphometric, compositional, microstructural properties, while biological assays derived blood samples are associated with functional information.

La práctica de ejercicio físico ha sido asociada a un menor riesgo desarrollo y recurrencia del cáncer. Asimismo, estudios previos sugieren que el es eficaz para reducir desarrollar alteraciones metabólicas. Por lo tanto, esta investigación pretende evaluar los efectos programa combinado 12 semanas sobre la reducción niveles hemoglobina glicada (HbA1c) en pacientes con Para ello, 22 no diabéticos fueron asignados aleatoriamente una intervención o al grupo control. Se realizaron evaluaciones...

Purpose: With age there is a neuromuscular and cognitive decline that impacts on functional ability. One of the most characteristic easily recognisable signs this decrease in usual gait speed. For older adults, speed non-invasive indicator health status regarded as vital sign. As it predicts various conditions later life, measuring walking crucial clinical setting. Therefore, analysing determining association between impact socio-economic variables may facilitate prevention associated...

Background Sarcopenia and reduced muscle quality index have garnered special attention due to their prevalence among older individuals the adverse effects they generate. Early detection of these geriatric pathologies holds significant potential, enabling implementation interventions that may slow or reverse progression, thereby improving individual’s overall health life. In this context, artificial intelligence opens up new opportunities identify key identifying factors pathologies, thus...

Abstract Background Frailty derived from muscle quality loss can potentially be delayed through early detection and physical exercise interventions. There is a need for affordable tools the objective evaluation of quality, in both cross-sectional longitudinal assessment. Literature suggests that quantitative analysis ultrasound data captures morphometric, compositional microstructural properties, while biological essays blood samples are associated with functional information. The aim this...

In recent years, Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS), particularly speckle statistics, has evolved as a promising tool for advanced tissue characterization. This study explored the applicability of QUS in sarcopenia assessment, an area hitherto sparsely researched. Involving 98 geriatric patients, prospective clinical trial evaluated effect 16-week supervised exercise intervention on muscle health. Here, we introduce automatic evaluation mass rectus femoris and statistics to capture functional...
