Multi-component exercise intervention methods for intelligent assisted diagnosis of sarcopenia in the elderly based on deep learning.

A deep learning model detected sarcopenia with 92% accuracy, enabling scalable screening for age-related muscle loss in primary care.

Population aging has made sarcopenia a major public health challenge in geriatric medicine, demanding scalable and accurate diagnostic tools. This study demonstrated that a CNN-LSTM hybrid deep learning model achieved 92.3% diagnostic accuracy for sarcopenia detection, providing a low-cost, practical solution for large-scale screening and precision health management in primary healthcare settings.
