Observational prospective study in older adults admitted to an Acute Geriatric Unit, in which sarcopenia will be evaluated by ultrasound in the anterior rectus femoris muscle.
The main objective of the study is to estimate, by means of portable ultrasound, parameters of muscle quantity and quality (anterior rectus femoris muscle area, width and echostructure ) in older adults hospitalized in Acute Geriatric Units for medical reasons.

| muscle ultrasound | Diagnostic Test | All participants will undergo a muscle ultrasound on admission and at discharge |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Prevalence of sarcopenia on admission | Prevalence of sarcopenia on admission. A prevalent case of sarcopenia will be considered if a patient fulfills the EWGSOP2 at admission | 72 hours |
| Incidence of sarcopenia between admission and discharge | An incident case of sarcopenia will be considered if a patient not fulfilling EWGSOP2 diagnostic criteria on admission, will meet diagnostic criteria at discharge of sarcopenia at discharge (diagnosis will be considered as a dichotomous variable -yes/no-). | 15 days |
| Muscle mass (the anterior rectus femoris muscle) | The evolution of muscle mass between admission and discharge will be assessed by ultrasound | 15 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Minimal nutritional assessment (MNA-SF) score | The mini-nutritional assessment - short form is a simple, non - invasive and validated scale for the detection of malnutrition in older adults. It takes into account the patient's loss of appetite, weight loss, motor skills, recent health status, neuropsychological disorders. The maximum score of the MNA-SF is 14: Greater than or equal to 11: normal nutritional status. Between 8 and 11: risk of malnutrition. Less than 8: malnutrition. |
