Osteosarcopenia as a risk factor for fractures and mortality – 19-year follow-up of a population-based sample
While both sarcopenia and osteoporosis increase fracture and mortality risks, their combination does not seem to additively elevate fracture risks. Osteoporosis is a stronger predictor for future fractures, whereas probable sarcopenia is more closely linked to mortality. Further research is warranted to determine the best ways to incorporate sarcopenia assessment into comprehensive fracture risk evaluation.
