| A comparison between muscle ultrasound, impedancemetry and hand grip strength in healthy individuals The pathophysiology of sarcopenia remains incompletely understood, but a muscle ultrasound gains interest as a potential diagnostic tool. The goal of this study was to compare the age- and gender-related effects on muscle parameters derived from an ultrasound, bioelectrical impedancemetry (BIA) and hand grip strength (HGS) in order to gather information about sarcopenia and to strengthen the position of the muscle ultrasound. Healthy subjects were included. Ultrasonographic measurements of muscle thickness (MT), cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscle stiffness (EG) were taken at 75% of the distance between the acromioclavicular joint and the elbow crease, distally. BIA was performed to measure muscle mass (MM), fat mass (FM) and phase angle (PhA). HGS was measured using a Jamar® dynamometer. Associations, age- and gender-related effects were investigated by a Pearson correlation and simple, linear regression analysis. 123 Caucasian individuals (51 men and 72 women) between the ages of 18 and 69 were included. Age showed significant correlations with FM, PhA and HGS. HGS declined with increasing age in both men and women. Only men showed a declining MT. PhA declined with increasing age in both men and women, and FM increased. Analysis of gender- and age-related effects suggests an important role for qualitative parameters in age-related decline of HGS. The absence of significant correlations with respect to a muscle ultrasound is probably a consequence of the limited study population. |
