Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study is to systematically review the scientific findings about the efficacy of the measure of the Adductor Pollicis Muscle Thickness for nutritional assessment of individuals in various clinical conditions. Method: Systematic review study performed according to the methodology Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Results: 13 original articles published between 2004 and 2016 were included. The measure was associated/correlated to parameters o… Show more

“…The APM is a flat muscle fixed between two bone structures that can be measured directly and undergoes minimal subcutaneous fat interference. Furthermore, APM is correlated to parameters of nutritional status and muscle mass (Pereira, Neves, Bastos, & Cândido, 2018). In our study, APM had a significant increase along with the groups (Table 1), indicating either infiltration of muscle fat or muscle development concerning age.…”

“…MT is a parameter that can be used to predict fat-free mass in the elderly population [28]. There are some reports that investigated the relationship between adductor pollicis MT and nutritional status [14,15]. Relations between muscle thickness and MNA in hospitalized older adults has been studied [29].…”

“…Ultrasound is an ambulatory and low-cost tool that is valid and reliable for assessing specific muscles [13]. Previous studies have investigated the adductor pollicis muscle thickness using ultrasonography for nutritional assessment [14,15]. However, lower limb muscles are the most important muscle groups for functional independence in older adults [16].…”

“…A EMAP é uma medida que avalia, objetivamente, a espessura do músculo adutor do polegar, sendo de fácil execução devido à conformação anatômica e à planicidade muscular 16,22 . O músculo adutor do polegar, por sofrer mínima interferência da gordura subcutânea, pode ser avaliado e sua espessura utilizada como um marcador de massa muscular 7,[23][24][25] . Em nosso estudo com pacientes cirúrgicos, apesar de não avaliarmos diretamente a massa muscular total, observamos que a EMAP foi reduzida para, aproximadamente, 60% dos pacientes e esteve diretamente associada com medidas que avaliam o estado nutricional tais como o peso habitual, a CB e a albumina plasmática, mas não com a CMB e DCT.…”
