This cross-sectional study aims to identify risk phenotypes for sarcopenia among young adults using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) for whole-body composition analysis, along with anthropometric and musculoskeletal assessments. Sarcopenia, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and strength, is a growing concern, particularly among the aging population.
However, early identification in young adults can allow for preventive strategies to improve long-term health outcomes. This study, involving 221 participants aged 15 to 35, focuses on assessing the correlation between DXA-derived body composition, musculoskeletal fitness, and anthropometric measurements with sarcopenia risk. Primary outcome measures include DXA imaging and dynamometry for body composition and strength evaluation, while secondary outcomes focus on detailed anthropometric and musculoskeletal analyses. By addressing early risk factors in younger populations, this research hopes to enhance understanding of sarcopenia's development and support early intervention strategies. Data collection is conducted at the Center of Nuclear Medicine in Lahore, Pakistan.

| Identification of Risk Phenotypes of Sarcopenia | Combination Product | Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, often associated with aging. Traditionally, it is studied in older populations, but your focus is on identifying its early manifestations in young adults, potentially offering a window for prevention. |
