iSARC™ Research Project. Early diagnosis of sarcopenia
through Ecographic images processed and analyzed by the PIIXMED™ system (Cloud Web Application Medical Device as a Computer Program)
Hypothesis of the iSARC Study: A tool such as PIIXMED™ could simplify the diagnosis of sarcopenia, reliably confirming muscle quantity and quality, helping the medical professional to diagnose through sarcopenia indexes and being easy to handle in Primary Care and hospitals.
Objectives: The aim of the iSARC™ research study is to analyze the variation of ultrasound parameters of muscle architecture with age in a healthy population. To identify "ranges of normality" in ultrasound parameters of muscle architecture by age and sex groups. To identify patients with sarcopenia with ultrasound study. To determine cut-off points to establish sarcopenia indexes. To evaluate the PIIXMED™ system as a valid, consistent and reproducible diagnostic tool for the finding of sarcopenia.

Development of a Sarcopenia prediction model by Integrating Genome Analysis, Microbiome, and other Biochemical Biomarkers
SARCOTECH project get focus on development of a Sarcopenia prediction model by Integrating Genome Analysis, Microbiome, and other Biochemical Biomarkers. The proposal involves the combination of omics, Bioinformatics, and Information and Communication Technologies to develop a rapid and low-cost solution for the massive screening of sarcopenia. The novelty of the proposal consists in combining multiple risk factors on sarcopenia, such as genetics, microbiota, clinical biomarkers, and lifestyle parameters in a machine learning algorithm capable of predicting the onset and severity of this geriatric syndrome
