Although dual\u2010energy X\u2010ray absorptiometry (DXA) is recommended as the reference method for the assessment of muscle mass, its limited availability restricts widespread clinical implementation. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography (US) has emerged as a promising alternative due to its portability, low cost, and absence of ionizing radiation; however, its validity relative to DXA in older populations remains insufficiently synthesized.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic review and meta\u2010analysis was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 and registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251168461). Six databases were searched (2015\u20132025) for observational studies comparing US with DXA in adults aged \u2265\u200960\u2009years. Risk of bias was assessed using QUADAS\u20102, and US protocols were evaluated using Pretorius and Keating criteria. Random\u2010effects meta\u2010analyses (REML with Knapp\u2013Hartung adjustment) were performed to pool correlation coefficients and diagnostic accuracy outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Nineteen studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Nine studies contributed to the meta\u2010analysis of correlation coefficients, while 12 contributed to quantitative summaries across outcomes. Ultrasonographic parameters showed a strong association with DXA\u2010derived lean mass (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.855; 95% CI: 0.637\u20130.946), although heterogeneity was high (\n                      <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u200997.4%). Inter\u2010rater reliability was excellent (ICC: 0.90\u20130.98). Diagnostic performance was acceptable to good (AUC: 0.75\u20130.95), with higher specificity than sensitivity (median: 0.91 vs. 0.74), supporting ultrasound mainly as a complementary or confirmatory tool rather than a stand\u2010alone screening method.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Musculoskeletal US is a highly correlated and reproducible tool, representing a practical option for muscle assessment and a useful complementary method for clinical evaluation and longitudinal monitoring, particularly given its high specificity. However, it should not replace DXA for formal diagnosis due to methodological heterogeneity and moderate sensitivity, highlighting the need for protocol standardization and the establishment of
