Ultrasound only has low-to-moderate accuracy for sarcopenia. We aimed to investigate whether ultrasound radiomics combined with machine learning enhances sarcopenia diagnostic accuracy compared with conventional ultrasound parameters among older adults in long-term care.
This study investigated the interactive associations of age, apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE4) genetic status, physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE), and physical functioning on processing speed over a 10-year period.
Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important biomarker associated with various physiological processes and diseases. Although alkaline phosphatase's impact on health has been extensively studied, its specific relationship with sarcopenia remains unclear.
