Implications/Significance: Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound is a portable, inexpensive modality suitable for bedside use or community health initiatives, and features no exposure to low-dose radiation. It is important to note that DXA is considered a relatively low cost procedure, and DXA-based measures may continue to be used as the standard for the sarcopenia syndrome LBM criterion. Consequently, this study will examine if LBM values obtained with ultrasound may serve as a viable proxy of LBM measures obtained with DXA.
