- * The study involved 37 FPLD patients and 74 healthy controls, analyzing various parameters such as thigh skinfold thickness and leg fat percentage, alongside genetic testing to classify patients into two groups: FPLD+ and FPLD1.
- * Results indicated a significant statistical difference in key diagnostic parameters between FPLD groups, revealing a new cutoff point of 20 mm for thigh skinfold thickness in women and suggesting that a leg fat percentage below 29.6% could assist in FPL

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative illness and has the highest increase rate in recent years. There is growing evidence to suggest that PD is linked to higher osteoporosis rates and risk of fractures.
Objective: This study aims to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with osteoporosis as defined by the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) and World Health Organization in patients with mild to moderate PD.
