Sarcopenia(sarco : prefix denoting muscle or flishy tissue ; penia : suffix denoting lack or deficiency) is known as the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength associated with aging. Fundamental oral functions such as mastication and deglutition are supported by adjacent muscles. This study was conducted to determine whether the cooling thermographic camera could identify the blood flow changes in these supporting tissues. The results indicated an association between changes in skin temperature and activities of nearby tissues, suggesting that the newly developed assessment system could contribute to the prevention of the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength involved in the oral function and eventually decrease the number of the elderly requiring care.

肌肉减少症（Sarco：表示肌肉或脆弱组织的前缀； Penia：表示缺乏或缺乏的后缀）称为骨骼肌质量的退化丧失和与衰老相关的强度。相邻的肌肉支持诸如咀嚼和脱水之类的基本口服功能。进行这项研究是为了确定冷却热力计摄像头是否可以鉴定这些支撑组织中的血流变化。结果表明，皮肤温度的变化与附近组织活动之间存在关联，这表明新开发的评估系统可能有助于预防与年龄相关的肌肉质量损失和涉及口服功能的力量，并最终减少需要护理的老年人的数量。
