Abstract:Objectives:
To assess the link between ultrasonographic measurements of the biceps brachii and total muscle mass measured by bio-impedancemetry in hospitalized older patients.
Methods:
A prospective observational study was conducted. The study included patients older than 65 years admitted in internal medicine, acute geriatrics, orthogeriatrics and rehabilitation departments. All measurements, ultrasonographic measurements and muscle mass and function by bio-impedanceme… Show more
