Incremental Predictive Value of Sarcopenia for Incident Fracture in an Elderly Chinese Cohort: Results From the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOs) Study

This study confirms that sarcopenia is a predictor of fracture risk in this elderly men cohort, establishes that sarcopenia provides incremental predictive value for fractures over the integration of BMD and other clinical risk factors, and suggests that the combination of osteoporosis and sarcopenia could identify a subgroup with a particularly high fracture risk.
