Sarcopenia screening for older adults with hip osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study checks for muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people aged 65 or older who are waiting for hip replacement surgery. It aims to see how common muscle loss is and may help improve care before and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new approach to treat sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) by targeting a protein called HIF-1α. It compares older adults with sarcopenia to younger adults without it, all of whom are having hip or knee surgery.
This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in people with knee osteoarthritis and what factors are linked to it. It may help doctors better understand and manage muscle weakness in knee OA patients.
This trial looks at whether low muscle mass (sarcopenia) before surgery affects recovery for older adults with gastrointestinal cancer. It may help doctors personalize care and improve outcomes.
This study checks if the size of a thigh muscle and a nutrition score can help predict recovery in older patients having hip fracture surgery. It might help doctors plan better care after surgery.
This study looks at frailty in older adults who have a certain type of hip fracture. It may help doctors better understand how frailty affects recovery after hip surgery.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
