Description
James Prowse and colleagues reviewed muscle measurement in older hip fracture patients. Their 2024 systematic review asks whether mass adds value beyond strength. Sarcopenia diagnosis rests first on low muscle strength. Muscle mass confirms the diagnosis under current rules. Whether measuring mass predicts outcomes on its own was unclear.
Searches found over three thousand records on the topic. Thirty-six studies with nearly eight thousand patients qualified. Acceptability of mass measurement was never directly assessed. Feasibility and outcome links were extracted from the studies. Death, hospital stay, and daily function formed the outcome set. Study variety forced a narrative rather than pooled synthesis. The review guides geriatric teams on which measures earn their time.
