Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVES: To examine patterns of muscle mass change with aging and to estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Population-based study in Rochester, Minnesota. PARTICIPANTS: Age-stratified sample of men and women from the community. MEASUREMENTS: Muscle mass estimated from total body scans by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Sarcopenia was defined as muscle mass more than 2 standard deviations below the sex-specific young-normal mean. RESULTS: Total lean body mass (exclusive of bone) and total skeletal muscle mass both were greater in men than women and declined linearly with age as judged from these cross-sectional data. Adjustment for height reduced the gender difference. The age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of sarcopenia varied from 6 to 15% among subjects 65 years of age or over, depending on the muscle mass parameter that was evaluated, but prevalence rates were quite sensitive to the normal values used to define cutoff levels. Subjects with sarcopenia appeared to have more physical limitations than the others. CONCLUSIONS: Late in life, a substantial portion of the population reaches low levels of muscle mass that are associated with increased physical disability. However, additional efforts are needed to validate an operational definition of sarcopenia.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
