Sarcopenia will be assessed using the STAR (Sonographic Thigh Adjustment Ratio) method.

A detailed evaluation of shoulder MRI scans will be conducted. The presence and severity of supraspinatus tendon tears, as well as the presence of muscle atrophy (assessed using the tangent sign), will be recorded. In addition, tears in other rotator cuff tendons, signs of tendinitis, and any other pathological findings will also be documented.
