The association between hyperkyphosis and physical function in geriatric outpatients with frailty
Hyperkyphosis was highly prevalent and independently associated with the Timed Up and Go test and Berg Balance Scale, even in this population of geriatric outpatients with frailty and multimorbidity, thereby more at risk for functional decline. Early detection and treatment of hyperkyphosis may contribute to the preservation of physical function.
