Abstract

Automated opportunistic CT analysis identified sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in 28.5% and 5.7% of 17 646 patients, respectively, contrasting with the 0.05% underreported in the electronic health record, which highlights the potential of artificial intelligence tools to mitigate sarcopenia underdiagnosis.
