Investigation of the Prevalence of Sarcopenia and Dynapenia According to Disease Stage in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis and Evaluation of the Relationship Between Sarcopenia Severity and Clinical and Functional Parameters

Sponsor: Atılım University

Summary

This cross-sectional observational study aims to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and dynapenia across disability stages in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and investigate their associations with clinical and functional parameters. Approximately 150 patients will be classified into two groups according to their Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores: mild disability (EDSS \< 4.0) and moderate disability (EDSS 4.0-6.5). Sarcopenia and dynapenia will be assessed using the ISarcoPRM algorithm. Physical activity, fatigue, and functional independence will also be evaluated.
