Article Synopsis
- The study explored the connection between probable sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and supraspinatus tendon tears in postmenopausal women, finding that these conditions often co-occur.
- Out of 1443 participants, 268 (18.6%) had supraspinatus tendon tears, which were more common on the dominant side and associated with factors like older age, lower education levels, and poorer grip strength.
- Key risk factors for these tears included age, hypertension, osteoporosis, and probable sarcopenia, suggesting that assessments of tendon health should be prioritized in patients with these risk factors.
