NCT ID NCT07510009
First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study measures muscle mass, strength, and calf size in healthy Turkish adults aged 18-39 and 65-99. The goal is to create reference values specific to the Turkish population, so doctors can more accurately diagnose sarcopenia—a condition of muscle loss that raises the risk of falls and disability. Currently, diagnosis relies on European standards, which may not fit everyone.
