The association between cystatin C and hip fracture risk: A longitudinal cohort study of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS)
Our findings suggest serum cystatin C may represent a valuable biomarker for hip fracture risk assessment in older adults. Further studies are needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and to determine whether cystatin C can be incorporated into clinical risk assessments for hip fractures.
