Paper

Abstract

Osteosarcopenia, defined as the co-existence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia, may influence frailty risk in older adults. However, the longitudinal association between osteosarcopenia or its components and frailty remain unclear. This study aimed to address this.

Research summary

The study investigates the relationship between osteosarcopenia and frailty risk in older adults. This research is relevant as it addresses the interplay between age-related conditions that may contribute to frailty, a significant factor in longevity and healthy aging.
