<p>Association between metabolic syndrome and limb muscle quantity and quality in older adults: a pilot ultrasound study</p>

Purpose: Limited imaging studies have investigated whether limb muscle quantity and quality change after metabolic syndrome (MetS) development. This pilot study examined MetS influence on limb muscle characteristics in older adults. Methods: Participants were recruited from annual health examinations; their right biceps brachii, triceps brachii, rectus femoris, and gastrocnemius muscles were measured by ultrasound. Anthropometric parameters,...
