Developing Strategies in Skeletal Muscle Mass Measurements for Diagnosing Sarcopenia Disease

This research work explores the pivotal realm of Sarcopenia, a condition associated with aging marked by the deterioration of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and functionality. A key aspect in grappling with Sarcopenia lies in accurately gauging skeletal muscle mass, a process that has undergone substantial evolution over time. Initially reliant on basic anthropometric measurements, the field has since progressed to encompass sophisticated imaging techniques and biochemical markers. Nonetheless, challenges persist, including inconsistencies in measurement protocols and interpretation. Additionally, there are issues related to the high cost and limited accessibility of advanced diagnostic tools, as well as the lack of standardized criteria for diagnosing Sarcopenia across different populations. This review scrutinizes the historical progression and contemporary field of measurement concepts in Sarcopenia assessment, aiming to delineate their strengths, limitations, and implications for clinical application. By integrating recent research and methodological advancements, this research study provides insights into the future trajectories of both research and clinical interventions in this swiftly evolving domain.
