Echo intensity obtained from ultrasonography images reflecting muscle strength in elderly men

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

The results of this study indicate that aging-related changes in muscle quality contribute to diminishing muscle strength. Ultrasonography is a low-cost, easily accessible, and safe method suitable for the assessment of EI as an index of muscle quality.
