NCT ID NCT07454759
First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looks at whether combining simple tests—like handgrip strength, body composition analysis, and thigh ultrasound—can help doctors spot rapid muscle loss (acute sarcopenia) in older adults admitted to the hospital. Researchers will follow 280 patients aged 65 and older to find out how common this condition is and what factors increase risk. The goal is to improve early detection and prevent complications like longer hospital stays or infections.
