Osteoporosis International Feb 18, 2018
Locquet M, et al. - Herein a cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the association between muscle and bone status in older subjects aged 74.7 ± 5.7 years. No significant differences in the trabecular bone score (TBS) values were noted between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic older men and women or between those with low and high muscle mass while comparing bone quality. Interconnections were brought to light between components of sarcopenia and osteoporosis, with older subjects with muscle impairment displaying poorer bone health.
