Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are common in older adults, especially women 75 and older, and they share similar biological mechanisms; this study examines their relationship specifically in this demographic.
- The research included 101 Caucasian women, revealing that a significant portion suffered from osteoporosis (72%) and sarcopenia (37%), with 34% affected by both conditions (osteosarcopenia).
- Findings indicated that fat mass has a protective role against osteosarcopenia, as those with this condition had significantly lower fat mass and BMI, prompting further consideration of how these factors relate to bone health.
