SummaryOur objective is to explore the correlation between sarcopenia (measured via MRI) and frailty (evaluated through grip strength). Utilizing follow-up data, we will examine the subgroup of patients who initially showed no signs of sarcopenia or frailty but developed these conditions by the second assessment. We will then identify predictors associated with this change in status.
