Association between prealbumin levels and the risk of osteoporosis among individuals aged 50 and above in Southwest China: a retrospective case–control study
Our findings demonstrate that low prealbumin levels are significantly associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis among adults aged ≥50 years in southwestern China. Individuals with this risk factor should receive regular BMD monitoring and early targeted interventions to prevent osteoporosis.
