Muscle ultrasound is an emerging tool for diagnosing sarcopenia. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on diagnostic test accuracy of diagnosis We collected data from Ovid Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials. Diagnostic studies using muscle detect sarcopenia were included. Bivariate random-effects models based sensitivity specificity pairs used calculate pooled estimates sensitivity, area under curves (AUCs) summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC), if possible. screened 7332 publications included 17 with 2143 participants (mean age range: 52.6-82.8 years). All had a high risk bias. The study populations, reference standards measurement methods varied across studies. Lower extremity muscles commonly studied, whereas thickness (MT) was most widely measured parameter, followed by cross-sectional (CSA). MTs gastrocnemius, rectus femoris, tibialis anterior, soleus, abdominis geniohyoid showed moderate (SROC-AUC 0.83, 8 studies; SROC-AUC 0.78, 5 AUC 0.82, 1 study; 0.76-0.78, 2 0.76, 0.79, study, respectively), vastus intermedius, quadriceps femoris transversus low (AUC 0.67-0.71, 3 0.64, 4 0.68, respectively). CSA biceps brachii gastrocnemius fascicle length also 0.70-0.90, 0.81, 0.78-0.80, echo intensity (EI) 0.52-0.67, 0.48-0.50, 0.43-0.49, 0.69, combination EI or better than either alone shows low-to-moderate depending different parameters, muscles, populations. quality indicators (e.g., EI) quantity MT) might provide accuracy.
