Identification of Risk Phenotypes for Sarcopenia Using DXA WBC, Anthropometric and MA Among Young Adults
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
This cross-sectional study aims to identify risk phenotypes for sarcopenia among young adults using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) for whole-body composition analysis, along with anthropometric and musculoskeletal assessments. Sarcopenia, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and strength, is a growing concern, particularly among the aging population.

Identification of Risk Phenotypes of Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, often associated with aging. Traditionally, it is studied in older populations, but your focus is on identifying its early manifestations in young adults, potentially offering a window for prevention.
