Resumo(s)
Sarcopenia is characterized by progressive and generalized loss of strength and muscle mass, and may be a manifestation of post-COVID-19 syndrome. The diagnosis of sarcopenia can be obtained on computed tomography images using cross-sectional area (CSA) measurement. This study aims to quantify the total CSA, the pectoral muscle CSA, and the Skeletal Muscle Index to foresee the development of sarcopenia in patients after COVID-19.
