ROC analysis for the prediction of sarcopenia from extremity muscle thickness and cross-sectional area. (A) The predictive value of extremity muscle thickness. (B) The predictive value of extremity muscle cross-sectional area. BB = biceps brachii; CSA = cross-sectional area; MT = muscle thickness; PP = psoas posterior; RA = radial anterior; RF = rectus femoris; QF = quadriceps femoris; TP = tibialis posterior; UA = ulnar anterior; VI = vastus intermedius
