Abstract

<p>Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used for liver imaging in chronic liver disease (CLD); however, it is rarely used for sarcopenia diagnosis. This study used MR elastography imaging data to develop diagnosis criteria of sarcopenia in Asians. Age, body mass index, albumin, and liver fibrosis (F3 or above) in CLD were independently associated with sarcopenia that is diagnosed by the new criteria, and the new criteria sarcopenia was shown as an independent prognostic factor in cirrhosis. The usefulness and future potential of liver MRI for diagnosing sarcopenia were demonstrated.</p>
