               <mods:abstract>Background: Muscle wasting is pronounced in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction&#xd;
(HFpEF). The quadriceps femoris echotexture biomarkers assessed by ultrasound (US) have not been studied in&#xd;
these patients.&#xd;
Objective: To describe echotexture biomarkers assessed by the US and to assess their relationship with sex, age,&#xd;
body mass index (BMI), self-reported outcomes, muscle strength and physical function in older adults with&#xd;
HFpEF.&#xd;
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients 70 years and older with HFpEF were included. The sex,&#xd;
age, BMI, and self-reported outcomes were collected. The US assessed muscle and subcutaneous fat tissue&#xd;
contrast, correlation, energy, homogeneity, and entropy at rest and maximal voluntary isometrical contraction&#xd;
(MVIC). The six-minute walk test (6MWT), the short physical performance battery (SPPB), the timed up and go&#xd;
test (TUG), the usual pace gait speed test (UGS), and the fast pace gait speed test (FGS) were used to assess&#xd;
physical function. The five-repetitions sit-to-stand test (5-STS) was performed to assess muscle strength. Bivariant&#xd;
Pearson correlations and subsequent multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted.&#xd;
Results: Seventy-two older adults with HFpEF [81.06 years, 29.13 BMI, and 55.60% females] were recruited. In&#xd;
women, relaxed and MVIC muscle energy and entropy explained 35.40% of the TUG variance; relaxed muscle&#xd;
entropy and MVIC muscle energy shared 24.00% of the UGS variance; relaxed and MVIC muscle entropy, MVIC&#xd;
muscle contrast and MVIC muscle energy explained 32.60% of the FGS variance, adjusted all the models by age&#xd;
and BMI.</mods:abstract>
