Very high prevalence of osteosarcopenia in hip fracture patients: risk and protective factors
Our study had shown a very high prevalence of osteosarcopenia amongst hip fracture patients, especially in male patients, and identified associated risk and protective factors. Given the potential clinical implications, we would recommend that in addition to bone mineral density assessment, routine sarcopenia assessment should also be incorporated into Fracture Liaison Services. Further research should be conducted on optimal body weight and BMI, and as to why male patients have more likelihood of sarcopenia.
