NCT ID NCT07041996
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested a mobile phone app that uses the SARC-F questionnaire to screen for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) in adults over 60. Ten participants used the app to answer simple questions about their strength and mobility. The goal was to see if the app could help identify those at risk of sarcopenia early.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mobile-based SARC-F screening application
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could help older adults easily check their risk of sarcopenia at home, leading to earlier detection and management.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app is a screening tool, not a diagnostic test, and may miss some cases.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
