This study was performed to identify factors that discriminate muscle echo intensity (EI) among parameters of body composition, physical function and daily physical activity in elderly individuals. A total of 209 men and women (73.7±2.8 y) were evaluated. EI was measured on ultrasonographic axial thigh muscle images. The participants were categorized into the low, mid and high EI groups. We measured the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and physical functions. The high EI group exhibited a significantly lower SMI …
