Description
Methavee Poochanasri and co-authors tested a quick body measure for weak muscles in a 2026 study. They worked with 390 older adults who live with type 2 sugar disease. Weak, thin muscles raise the risk of falls and loss of self-care in this group. The measure, called phase angle, comes from a painless body scan.
Low phase angle scores went hand in hand with weak muscles as set by Asian group rules. The scan sorted weak from strong muscles well. Cut points that fit men and women on their own worked best. The team sees the scan as a fast first check, with long-term proof still to come.
