Key Points

To evaluate whether SARC-F effectively reflects muscle quality as measured by elastography in older adults.
Assessment of SARC-F as a screening tool for sarcopenia risk among older adults.
Use of shear-wave elastography to measure muscle quality.
Comparison of SARC-F results with elastography findings.
SARC-F does not adequately reflect muscle quality as determined by elastography.
Incorporating muscle quality assessments may improve diagnostic accuracy for sarcopenia.
Enhanced assessment methods could lead to better clinical management of sarcopenia.

Abstract

SARC-F is a practical screening tool for sarcopenia risk but may not adequately reflect muscle quality. These findings suggest that incorporating muscle quality assessments (e.g. shear-wave elastography) into sarcopenia screening may improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical management.
