Аннотация
Саркопения (СП), будучи возраст-ассоциированным состоянием, является важной терапевтической проблемой, предрасполагающей к развитию мышечной слабости и хрупкости. СП может встречаться не только среди пожилых людей, но и в молодой популяции у лиц с различными нозологиями. На международном уровне резко возрос клинический и исследовательский интерес к изучению этого состояния. В последние годы анализируются различные методы ранней диагностики СП, при этом ультразвуковое исследование рассматривается как перспективный и простой метод ее оценки. В статье представлен обзор литературы о возможностях и роли ультразвукового исследования мышц в диагностике СП.
