Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the prevalence of osteosarcopenia (OS) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and explore the related risk factors for developing this condition. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled hospitalized T2DM patients aged 60 years and older. Patients underwent assessments of total hip bone mineral density (BMD), grip strength, the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and body composition. Based on the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria, appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), grip strength, and SPPB were measured to diagnose sarcopenia. BMD and T values of the lumbar spine and hip were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Osteosarcopenia was defined when both sarcopenia and osteoporosis criteria were met. Statistical analysis included binary logistic regression to identify significant risk factors. RESULTS A total of 254 hospitalized T2DM patients (80 males and 174 females) were included. They were divided into T2DM-OS (n = 58) and T2DM-NOS (n = 196) groups based on the presence of osteosarcopenia. The average ages were 72.724 ± 6.463 and 69.265 ± 6.035 years, respectively. The prevalence of osteosarcopenia in T2DM patients was 22.8%, with 20.7% (12 males) and 79.3% (46 females) in the T2DM-OS group. After adjusting for confounding factors, it was found that male gender (OR: 5.738, 95% CI: 1.602-20.551, P = 0.007), fasting plasma glucose (OR: 0.904, 95% CI: 0.821-0.995, P = 0.038), and ASMI (OR: 0.049, 95% CI: 0.013-0.184, P < 0.001) were major influencing factors for the development of osteosarcopenia in elderly T2DM patients. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of T2DM-OS is relatively high, with male gender, low fasting plasma glucose, and low ASMI identified as risk factors.

Overlap between Osteosarcopenia and Frailty and their Association with Poor Health Conditions: The Bushehr Elderly Health Program. Ann Geriatr Med Res 2024; 28:219-227. [PMID: 38584427 PMCID: PMC11217651 DOI: 10.4235/agmr.23.0220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the association of osteosarcopenia with frailty and poor health conditions among older Iranian adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the Bushehr Elderly Health Program. Osteosarcopenia was defined as the presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia, while the Fried criteria were used to assess frailty. We assessed the history of falls and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), including physical and mental component summaries (PCS and MCS, respectively), history of fractures, activities of daily living (ADL), and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), as indicators of poor health conditions. RESULTS This study included a total of 2,371 older adults. The prevalence rates of osteosarcopenia-only, frailty-only, and osteosarcopenia with frailty were 17.4%, 3%, and 4.8%, respectively. The prevalence of a history of falls, poor ADL, and poor IADL was significantly higher in the frailty-only and osteosarcopenia with frailty groups. Osteosarcopenia with frailty was significantly associated with a history of falls (adjusted odds ratio [adjOR]=1.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.20-3.15), poor ADL (adjOR=2.85; 95% CI, 1.81-4.50), and poor IADL (adjOR=5.09; 95% CI, 2.85-9.11). However, the frailty-only group also showed an association with falls and poor ADL and IADL. Only osteosarcopenia was associated with an increased OR for fracture. Frailty had the greatest effect on the MCS and PCS scores, whereas osteosarcopenia with frailty had a moderate impact. CONCLUSION Osteosarcopenia with frailty significantly increased the odds of falls, poor ADL, poor IADL, and lower HRQoL compared with the robust group. Combined osteosarcopenia and frailty were not associated with poor health. These findings indicate the importance of diagnosing osteosarcopenia and frailty as separate entities to provide appropriate interventions and treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Various risk factors are mentioned for osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and osteosarcopenia. Our aim is to assess the impacts of anti-diabetic drugs on these disorders. METHODS To perform this study, the participants' data was extracted from the Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program in Iran. Afterward, the data were categorized into three subgroups: osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and osteosarcopenia, based on WHO and European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP-2) working group definitions. Demographic characteristics, anthropometric measures, past medical history, and current medications were recorded. Pearson chi-squared and simple/multiple logistic regression using Python (3.11.4) and R (4.3.1) programming software assessed the association between anti-diabetic agents and these bone disorders. RESULTS Out of 1995 participants, 820, 848, and 404 had osteoporosis, sarcopenia, or osteosarcopenia, respectively. Among all types of anti-diabetic drugs, a significant protective association between osteoporosis and consumption of second-generation sulfonylureas was found; Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR) = 0.65 ([95% CI: 0.45-0.94], p-value = 0.023). No associations were found between sarcopenia and consumption of anti-diabetic agents. A significant association was observed between using Meglitinides and the risk of osteosarcopenia; AOR = 4.98 ([95% CI: 1.5-16.55], p-value = 0.009). CONCLUSION In conclusion, a protective association between consumption of second-generation sulfonylureas and osteoporosis was found. Moreover, a positive association was found between the consumption of meglitinides and osteosarcopenia. However, to support these findings, further studies are recommended.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteosarcopenia is an age-related syndrome characterized by the coexistence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Little is known about the clinical implications of osteosarcopenia among patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study investigated the prevalence of osteosarcopenia and its association with all-cause mortality and fractures in this population. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study included outpatients undergoing hemodialysis in Japan. Sarcopenia was defined according to the recommendations of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019. Osteoporosis was defined as a T-score of the calcaneus bone < - 2.5. We divided patients into three groups: robust (no osteoporosis or sarcopenia), osteoporosis or sarcopenia alone (osteoporosis without sarcopenia or sarcopenia without osteoporosis), and osteosarcopenia (osteoporosis and sarcopenia). Cox proportional-hazard and negative binomial regression models were used to estimate the associations between osteosarcopenia and all-cause mortality and fractures. RESULTS Among the 328 patients (mean age, 65.5 ± 11.3 years; men, 59.1%), the prevalence of osteosarcopenia was 22.9%. During the follow-up period (1972 person-years), 131 deaths and 113 fractures occurred. Patients with osteoporosis or sarcopenia alone (hazard ratio 1.36; 95% confidence interval 0.85-2.18) and osteosarcopenia (hazard ratio 2.13; 95% confidence interval, 1.23-3.68) showed a higher risk of all-cause mortality than the robust group. Similar results were observed for the risk of fractures in patients with osteosarcopenia. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing hemodialysis showed a high prevalence of osteosarcopenia, and osteosarcopenia was associated with a poor prognosis in this patient population. Assessing osteosarcopenia may be useful for accurate prognostic stratification of patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarco-osteoporosis is a skeletal muscle disease associated with aging and complex pathological factors. At present, there are few studies on the analysis of its related factors, and a nomogram to estimate the risk of sarco-osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly patients is not available. METHODS A total of 386 patients admitted to our hospital from October 2021 to October 2022 were collected, and the general demographic data and clinical data of the patients were collected.386 subjects were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into training set and validation set at a ratio of 7:3. In the training set, the Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression technique was used to select the optimal predictive features, and multivariate logistic regression was used to screen the factors associated with sarco-osteoporosis, and a nomogram was constructed using meaningful variables from multivariate analysis. The performance of the nomograms was assessed and validated by Area Under Curve (AUC) and calibration curves. RESULTS There were no significant differences in baseline characteristic of individuals in training set and validation set, six variables with non-zero coefficients were screened based on LASSO regression in the training set. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the related factors for sarco-osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly inpatients included age (OR = 1.08, 95%CI 1.03 ∼ 1.14), regular exercise (OR = 0.29, 95%CI 0.15 ∼ 0.56), albumin (OR = 0.9, 95%CI 0.82 ∼ 0.98), height (OR = 0.93, 95%CI 0.88 ∼ 0.99) and lean mass index (OR = 0.66, 95%CI 0.52 ∼ 0.85), and a nomogram was constructed based on the above factors. AUC of nomogram were 0.868(95%CI 0.825 ∼ 0.912) in the training set and 0.737(95%CI 0.646 ∼ 0.828) in the validation set. Calibration curve analysis showed that the predicted probability of sarco-osteoporosis had high consistency with the actual probability, and the absolute error of the training set and verification set was 0.018 and 0.03, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our research showed that the occurrence of sarco-osteoporosis was associated with age, regular exercise, albumin, height and lean mass index, and we have developed a nomogram that can be effectively used in the preliminary and in-depth risk prediction of sarco-osteoporosis in middle-aged and elderly hospitalized patients.

Global epidemiological features and impact of osteosarcopenia: A comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2024; 15:8-20. [PMID: 38086772 PMCID: PMC10834350 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteosarcopenia is defined as the concurrent occurrence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia. The aim of the current study was to perform a systematic review with meta-analysis to determine the global prevalence, risk factors and clinical outcomes of osteosarcopenia. This review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022351229). PubMed, Cochrane, Medline and Embase were searched from inception to February 2023 to retrieve eligible observational population-based studies. Pooled osteosarcopenia prevalence was calculated with 95% confidence interval (CI), and subgroup analyses were performed. The risk factor of osteosarcopenia and its association with clinical outcomes were expressed as odds ratio (OR) and hazard ratio (HR), respectively. Heterogeneity was estimated using the I2 test. Study quality was assessed using validated instruments matched to study designs. The search identified 55 158 studies, and 66 studies (64 404 participants, mean age from 46.6 to 93 years) were analysed in the final analysis, including 48 cross-sectional studies, 17 cohort studies and 1 case-control study. Overall, the pooled prevalence of osteosarcopenia was 18.5% (95% CI: 16.7-20.3, I2 = 98.7%), including 15.3% (95% CI: 13.2-17.4, I2 = 97.6%) in men and 19.4% (95% CI: 16.9-21.9, I2 = 98.5%) in women. The prevalence of osteosarcopenia diagnosed using sarcopenia plus osteopenia/osteoporosis was 20.7% (95% CI: 17.1-24.4, I2 = 98.55%), and the prevalence of using sarcopenia plus osteoporosis was 16.1% (95% CI: 13.3-18.9, I2 = 98.0%). The global osteosarcopenia prevalence varied in different regions with 22.9% in Oceania, 21.6% in Asia, 20.8% in South America, 15.7% in North America and 10.9% in Europe. A statistically significant difference was found in the subgroups of the study population between the hospital (24.7%) and community (12.9%) (P = 0.001). Frailty (OR = 4.72, 95% CI: 2.71-8.23, I2 = 61.1%), malnutrition (OR = 2.35, 95% CI: 1.62-3.40, I2 = 50.0%), female sex (OR = 5.07, 95% CI: 2.96-8.69, I2 = 73.0%) and higher age (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.06-1.15, I2 ==86.0%) were significantly associated with a higher risk for osteosarcopenia. Meta-analysis of cohort studies showed that osteosarcopenia significantly increased the risk of fall (HR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.20-1.97; I2 = 1.0%, three studies), fracture (HR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.61-2.81; I2 = 67.8%, seven studies) and mortality (HR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.34-2.28; I2 = 0.0%, five studies). Despite the heterogeneity arising from varied definitions and criteria, our findings highlight a significant global prevalence of osteosarcopenia and its negative impact on clinical health. Standardizing diagnostic criteria for osteosarcopenia would be advantageous in the future, and early detection and management should be emphasized in this patient population.

Associations between Osteosarcopenia and Falls, Fractures, and Frailty in Older Adults: Results From the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA). J Am Med Dir Assoc 2024; 25:167-176.e6. [PMID: 37925161 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2023.09.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore if older adults with osteosarcopenia are at a greater risk of falls, fractures, frailty, and worsening life satisfaction and activities of daily living (ADL) compared to those with normal bone mineral density (BMD) and without sarcopenia. DESIGN The baseline and 3-year follow-up of a longitudinal study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Community-dwelling people aged 65 years or older in Canada. METHODS Caucasian participants 65 years or older that completed the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) 2015 baseline interview, physical measurements and 3-year follow-up were included. Osteopenia/osteoporosis was defined as BMD T score below -1 SD according to the World Health Organization, and sarcopenia was defined as low grip strength and/or low gait speed according to the Sarcopenia Definition Outcomes Consortium. Osteosarcopenia was defined as the coexistence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Self-reported incident falls and fractures in the last 12 months before the 3-year follow-up were measured. Frailty was assessed through the Rockwood Frailty Index (FI); life satisfaction through the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS); and ADL through the Older American Resources and Services modules. Multivariable logistic and linear regression, including subgroup analyses by sex, were conducted. RESULTS The sample of 8888 participants (49.1% females) had a mean age (SD) of 72.7 (5.6) years. At baseline, neither osteopenia/osteoporosis nor sarcopenia (reference group) was present in 30.1%, sarcopenia only in 18.4%, osteopenia/osteoporosis only in 29.2%, and osteosarcopenia in 22.3%. Osteosarcopenia was significantly associated with incident falls and fractures in males [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 1.90, 95% CI 1.15, 3.14, and aOR 2.60, 95% CI 1.14, 5.91, respectively] compared to males without osteopenia/osteoporosis or sarcopenia. Participants with osteosarcopenia had worsening ADL of 0.110 (estimated β coefficient 0.110, 95% CI 0.029, 0.192) and a decrease in their SWLS by 0.660 (estimated β coefficient -0.660, 95% CI -1.133, -0.187), compared to those without. Osteosarcopenia was not associated with frailty for both males and females. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Osteosarcopenia was associated with self-reported incident falls and fractures in males and worse life satisfaction and ADL for all participants. Assessing and identifying osteosarcopenia is essential for preventing falls and fractures. Furthermore, it improves life satisfaction and ADL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The identification of risk factors for osteosarcopenia in older adults is important for planning preventative strategies in clinical practice. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with osteosarcopenia in older adults using different diagnostic criteria. METHODS The sample included 171 community-dwelling older adults with a mean age of 79.4 ± 5.9 years and mean body mass index of 25.67 ± 4.70 kg/m2. We analyzed sociodemographic, biomarkers, lifestyle, and health condition data from participants of the "Projeto Idosos - Goiânia" cohort study. The outcome osteosarcopenia was defined as the simultaneous occurrence of sarcopenia and osteopenia. Osteopenia was diagnosed by low lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Sarcopenia was diagnosed using handgrip dynamometry and appendicular skeletal mass index assessed by DEXA following the criteria of the two European consensuses on sarcopenia (2010 and 2018). Two osteosarcopenia outcome variables were evaluated: OsteoSarc1 and OsteoSarc2 using the 2010 and 2018 European sarcopenia consensus criteria, respectively. Multivariate Poisson regression analysis was used to calculate the prevalence ratios (PRs). RESULTS The prevalence of OsteoSarc1 and OsteoSarc2 were 12.8% and 7.2%, respectively, with no significant gender differences. OsteoSarc1 was associated with low potassium (PR: 3.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-10.43) and malnutrition (PR: 3.84, 95% CI: 1.78-8.30). OsteoSarc2 was associated with being ≥80 years (PR: 7.64, 95% CI: 1.57-37.07), >4 years of education (PR: 3.25, 95% CI: 1.03-10.22), alcohol consumption (PR: 2.41, 95% CI: 1.01-5.77), low potassium (PR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.45-6.87), low serum vitamin D (PR: 4.47, 95% CI: 1.68-11.88), and malnutrition (PR: 5.00, 95% CI: 1.06-23.51). CONCLUSIONS OsteoSarc1 had a higher prevalence. The risk factors associated with the two outcomes were malnutrition and potassium level, as well as other risk factors, such as alcohol consumption and low vitamin D level. These findings may contribute to the prevention or treatment of this health condition in older adults.

Assessment of quality of life and its affecting factors in osteosarcopenic individuals in the Iranian older adult population: Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program. Osteoporos Sarcopenia 2023; 9:142-149. [PMID: 38374821 PMCID: PMC10874722 DOI: 10.1016/j.afos.2023.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives This cross-sectional study, conducted as part of the Bushehr Elderly Health program stage II in Bushehr, Iran, aimed to evaluate health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in individuals aged ≥ 60 with osteosarcopenia, a condition characterized by the co-occurrence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Given the increasing elderly population worldwide, understanding the HR-QoL of this demographic is crucial, with osteosarcopenia being a significant factor. Methods The study enrolled 2369 participants aged ≥ 60 and collected demographic and anthropometric data. Various questionnaires, including the Short Form 12, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Activities of Daily Living, and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, were administered. Comparisons were made between individuals with and without osteosarcopenia. Regression models were employed to identify variables associated with HR-QoL in those with osteosarcopenia. Results Key findings revealed that 22.5% of participants had osteosarcopenia. Significantly different HR-QoL measures were observed between the 2 groups, especially in physical functioning and physical component summary scores. Male gender, advanced age, and chronic illnesses were linked to lower physical and mental HR-QoL scores among those with osteosarcopenia. In female participants, a history of fractures and physical disability were associated with reduced quality of life. Conclusions This study underscores the negative impact of osteosarcopenia on HR-QoL, particularly in male participants, with a focus on physical aspects. It also highlights age and chronic disease as contributing factors to diminished HR-QoL in individuals with osteosarcopenia. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing osteosarcopenia in the elderly population to improve their overall well-being.

The association of body composition and fat distribution with dysmobility syndrome in community-dwelling older adults: Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:809. [PMID: 37828473 PMCID: PMC10568758 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06934-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Dysmobility Syndrome (DS) is characterized as an accumulation of clinical risk factors for functional disability, such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity. Neurological disorders that affect the motor and sensory systems can also contribute to the condition, resulting in gait and muscle strength disturbances, as well as a history of falls and fractures. The study aimed to determine the association between fat distribution in different body areas and the odds of older adults developing DS, as there is still uncertainty about the accumulation of fat in which area is most closely linked to the condition. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted according to the data from the second phase of the Bushehr Elderly Health Cohort (BEH). Dysmobility Syndrome was defined based on the co-occurrence of at least three outcomes of its criteria. Body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and anthropometric studies. For evaluating the relationship, multivariate logistic regression and adjusted univariate linear regression were used. RESULTS Of 2,359 who were recruited in the study, 1,277 participants (54.13%) had DS. According to the final logistic regression model in the limb region, FM and FM to FFM ratios were significantly associated with DS [OR (95%CI) = 1.04 (1.02 to 1.05), and 3.42 (1.95 to 5.99), respectively]. Also, In the trunk region, the FM and FM to FFM ratio were significantly related to the odds of DS, although this relationship was weaker than in the limbs region [OR (95%CI) = 1.02 (1.00 to 1.03), and 2.45 (1.36 to 4.39), respectively]. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that a higher regional and whole-body amount of fat mass rather than fat-free mass is closely linked to an increased risk of DS, particularly in the elderly population. Notably, higher fat mass in the limbs (especially in the legs) is associated with greater odds of DS, while a higher android-to-gynoid fat mass ratio is associated with lower DS risk. Screening fat mass distribution in older individuals can be a valuable strategy for promptly diagnosing DS, implementing interventions to prevent disabilities, and improving their quality of life.

Abstract
We designed to evaluate the effects of resistance elastic band exercises (REBEs) on cardiometabolic/obesity-related biomarkers in older females with osteosarcopenic obesity. Sixty-three patients (aged 65-80 years) with osteosarcopenic obesity and a body mass index exceeding 30 kg/m2 were enrolled in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (REBE, n = 32) or a usual care group (n = 31). The experimental group completed a 12-week REBE program, three times a week and 60 min per session. There were decreases in lipid accumulation product (p = .033), visceral adipose index (p = .001), triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (p = .034), and atherogenic index of plasma (p = .028) in the experimental group compared with the usual care group. Our findings highlight the importance of an REBE program in improving combined cardiometabolic/obesity-related indices in older women with osteosarcopenic obesity. The incorporation of an REBE program may benefit individuals who are unable to tolerate or participate in more strenuous exercise programs.

Abstract
The bibliometric analysis assesses the productivity of scholarship in a given field and provides information on the frontiers of relevant developments. However, no bibliometric analysis study has quantitatively analyzed publications in geriatric sarcopenia therapies. This study investigates the scholarly productivity and frontiers of publications in geriatric sarcopenia therapies. The bibliometric data came from English-language Web of Science Core Collection articles published between 1995 and October 19, 2022. Three software programs, R version 3.5.6, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace, were applied for this bibliometric analysis. In twenty-eight years, the annual publications in geriatric sarcopenia therapies have increased yearly, with an annual growth rate of 21.23 %. A total of 1379 publications have been published. The United States was the country with the highest number of publication signatures (n=1,537) (including joint publication releases), followed by Japan (n=1099). Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia, and Muscle contributed the best journal publications (n=80). The newest hot subjects in the study about geriatric sarcopenia therapy include malnutrition, obesity, insulin resistance, and cancer. This bibliometric study presents a comprehensive overview of the current and future research directions in geriatric sarcopenia therapies over the past 28 years. Overall, this study has complemented the gaps in bibliometric analysis in geriatric sarcopenia therapies. This paper will provide a valuable reference for future research in geriatric sarcopenia therapies.

Abstract
Muscles and bones are intricately connected tissues displaying marked co-variation during development, growth, aging, and in many diseases. While the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis are well established in clinical practice, sarcopenia has only been classified internationally as a disease in 2016. Both conditions are associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes such as fractures, dysmobility and mortality. Rather than focusing on one dimension of bone or muscle mass or weakness, the concept of musculoskeletal frailty captures the overall loss of physiological reserves in the locomotor system with age. The term osteosarcopenia in particular refers to the double jeopardy of osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Muscle-bone interactions at the biomechanical, cellular, paracrine, endocrine, neuronal or nutritional level may contribute to the pathophysiology of osteosarcopenia. The paradigm wherein muscle force controls bone strength is increasingly facing competition from a model centering on the exchange of myokines, osteokines and adipokines. The most promising results have been obtained in preclinical models where common drug targets have been identified to treat these conditions simultaneously. In this narrative review, we critically summarize the current understanding of the definitions, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of osteosarcopenia as part of an integrative approach to musculoskeletal frailty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcopenia is a syndrome with a concomitant presence of both sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis. It increases the risk of frailty, falls, fractures, hospitalization, and death. Not only does it burden the lives of older adults, but it also increases the economic burden on health systems around the world. This study aimed to review the prevalence and risk factors of osteosarcopenia to generate important references for clinical work in this area. METHODS Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, CBM, and VIP databases were searched from inception until April 24th, 2022. The quality of studies included in the review was evaluated using the NOS and AHRQ Scale. Pooled effects of the prevalence and associated factors were calculated using random or fixed effects models. Egger's test, Begg's test, and funnel plots were used to test the publication bias. Sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to identify the sources of heterogeneity. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 14.0 and Review Manager 5.4. RESULTS A total of 31 studies involving 15,062 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The prevalence of osteosarcopenia ranged from 1.5 to 65.7%, with an overall prevalence of 21% (95% CI: 0.16-0.26). The risk factors for osteosarcopenia were female (OR 5.10, 95% CI: 2.37-10.98), older age (OR 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03-1.21), and fracture (OR 2.92, 95% CI: 1.62-5.25). CONCLUSION The prevalence of osteosarcopenia was high. Females, advanced age, and history of fracture were independently associated with osteosarcopenia. It is necessary to adopt integrated multidisciplinary management.

The Association of Cardiovascular Diseases Risk Scores and Osteosarcopenia Among Older Adult Populations: The Results of Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) Program. Calcif Tissue Int 2023; 112:422-429. [PMID: 36598565 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-022-01059-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Considering the association of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with both osteoporosis and sarcopenia, this study aimed to explore the association between a newly developed CVD risk score and osteosarcopenia in the elderly population. Participants in the second phase of the Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program were included. Osteosarcopenia was defined as having both osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia. The 10-year CVD risk score was estimated using the WHO lab-based model. The participants were considered as high-risk if the CVD risk was ≥ 20%. The estimated risks were compared in individuals with and without osteosarcopenia. The association of CVD risk and osteosarcopenia was investigated using a logistic regression model, adjusted by potential confounders. In all, 2392 participants (1161 men) with a mean age of 69.3 (± 6.3) years were studied and 532 [242 (45.5%) men] individuals were diagnosed with osteosarcopenia. The median (IQR) CVD risks were 0.340 (0.214) and 0.229 (0.128) in men with and without osteosarcopenia, respectively (P < 0.001); In women, the corresponding values were 0.260 (0.147) and 0.207 (0.128), respectively (P < 0.001). Adjusted by confounders, CVD risk ≥ 20% in women, increased the odds of osteosarcopenia by 72%. Body mass index showed an inverse association with osteosarcopenia in both men (0.81, 95%CI: 0.78-0.85) and women (0.66, 95%CI: 0.62-0.70). Considering the area under the ROC curve, the models showed a discriminative ability of 82% in men and 89% in women. This study displayed a significant association between WHO CVD risk score and osteosarcopenia. Due to the difficult diagnosis of osteosarcopenia, the high association of cardiovascular risk score with this disease can help identify high-risk individuals and refer them for further diagnostic procedures. Considering the high prevalence of osteosarcopenia and its complications in the older population, comprehensive strategies are needed to find high-risk populations.

Abstract
Aim. To determine the clinical profile of a patient with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and impaired muscle status.Material and methods. The study included 387 patients with stable CAD who had indications for open myocardial revascularization. Quantification of muscle tissue was carried out using computed tomography. Comparative analysis of clinical and anamnestic characteristics of groups of patients with sarcopenia (n=152) and those with normal muscle status (n=235) was performed.Results. Signs of sarcopenia were found in 39,3% of patients with stable CAD. In the group of sarcopenia and the group with normal muscle status, there was a predominance of males — 86,2 and 64,7% (p=0,01), the presence of hypercholesterolemia — 51,3 and 31,1% (p=0,02), type 2 diabetes — 21,1 and 28,1% (p=0,06), multivessel CAD — 25,6 and 17,8% of cases (p=0,018), respectively. In sarcopenia, a 4 times longer history of diabetes was noted (p=0,01) and a 2,3 times longer duration of CAD (p=0,03). The prevalence of obesity in sarcopenia was 3,4 times less (p=0,003). Correlation analysis showed the relationship of muscle status with age (r=-0,674; p=0,002), duration of CAD history (r=-0,582; p=0,001) and diabetes (r=-0,748; p<0,001).Conclusion. The clinical and anamnestic profile of a patient with stable CAD and sarcopenia is characterized by an association of decreased muscle mass with male sex, hypercholesterolemia, multivessel coronary CAD, a long-term history of type 2 diabetes and angina.

The association of opioid consumption and osteoporosis in old men: Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program. Arch Osteoporos 2022; 17:149. [PMID: 36418801 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-022-01181-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
In a population of 1156 men aged ≥ 60 years, opioid drug use was reported by 4.1% (n = 47) of participants. Among opioids, opium was the most prevalent consuming drug (83%). Adjusting for potential confounders, opioid consumption showed a positive association with osteoporosis. PURPOSE Limited evidence suggest a relationship between opioid consumption and osteoporosis. This study aims to investigate the possible association of osteoporosis and drug use among older adult men of Bushehr, Iran. METHODS In this study, 1156 men aged ≥ 60 years of Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) were included. Bone density and trabecular bone score (TBS) were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Total osteoporosis was noted based on osteoporosis at either site of the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip densitometry. Drug use was defined as a self-reported current use of opioid drugs, either regular (daily) use or irregular consumption. Multivariable modified Poisson regression analysis was used for investigating the association of opioids and osteoporosis, reporting the adjusted prevalence ratio (APR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). The association between drug use and TBS was evaluated using a linear regression model. RESULTS Opioid drug use was reported by 4.1% (n = 47) of participants. Among drug users, opium was the most prevalent consuming drug (83%). In all, 38.3% of drug users and 22.4% of non-users had osteoporosis (p-value = 0.011). Multivariable analysis showed that adjusting by age, education, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index, diabetes, and physical activity, a positive and significant association was detected between opioid drug use and the likelihood of osteoporosis (APR: 1.46, 95%CI: 1.02-2.10). Considering the potential confounders, the results also showed a negative association between drug consumption and TBS (β: - 0.027, 95%CI: - 0.053, - 0.001). CONCLUSION Opioid drug use has a positive association with osteoporosis in elderly men, independent of other conventional risk factors. Elderly drug users might be at a higher risk for osteoporotic fractures, given the effect of substance use on cognition. So, osteoporosis among drug users would be of importance, especially in countries where opium consumption is prevalent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcopenia has been defined as the concomitance of low bone density (osteopenia/osteoporosis) and sarcopenia. Osteoporosis is characterized by alterations in bone microarchitecture and decrease of bone mineral density (BMD), whereas sarcopenia is the progressive decrease of both muscle mass and function that increase the risk of falls. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with poor bone strength and muscle wasting. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to analyze the association between osteosarcopenia and T2DM in post-menopausal women (PMW). METHODS We performed an age matched case-control study (1:2 ratio), considering as cases PMW affected by T2DM, and PMW without T2DM as control group. For all patients a DXA evaluation to investigate bone density and body composition measures were performed. Moreover, we carried out muscle strength and performance assessments. Outcome measures were femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD T-scores, appendicular lean mass (ALM), handgrip strength and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Data from both groups were analyzed and compared. RESULTS Thirty-six PMW (12 T2DM vs 24 non-T2DM) were recruited. The frequency of osteosarcopenia was significantly higher in the T2DM group compared to controls (50% vs 17%; OR 5.0, 95% CI 1.05 to 23.79, p = 0.043). Handgrip strength was significantly lower in the T2DM group (10.09 ± 4.02 kg vs 18.40 ± 6.83 kg; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Post-menopausal women with T2DM have a 5 times higher risk to have osteosarcopenia compared to non-diabetic ones. Further studies on larger cohorts are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Bone and muscle are recognised as interacting tissues, the so-called 'muscle-bone unit', in which these two tissues communicate to coordinate their development (chemically and metabolically), as well as their response to loading or injury. Musculoskeletal disorders of ageing, specifically osteoporosis and sarcopenia, are highly prevalent in older individuals. They signify a significant burden for older people affecting their mobility, confidence, and quality of life, as well as being a major cost to healthcare systems worldwide. This review considers the coexistence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia in individuals and describes risk factors, clinical consequences, approaches to management, and the link with functional capacity.

Effect of a six-week times restricted eating intervention on the body composition in early elderly men with overweight. Sci Rep 2022; 12:9816.

Abstract
The main aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of time-restricted eating (TRE) in reducing body fat and lowering body mass index in early elderly men with overweight (65–74 years). An additional goal was to determine the feasibility of applying TRE for extensive use in elderly men. This study included a group of 46 healthy men (EXP = 23 persons, CON = 23 persons). The six-week intervention in the experimental group involved complete abstinence from food intake for 16 h per day, from 08:00 to 12:00 p.m. After the intervention, the body weight decreased in the EXP group (− 1.92 kg) with a 95% CI (1.14–2.70) compared to the CON group. There was also a decrease in the Visceral fat mass (− 0.64 l) with 95% CI (0.46–0.82) and in the waist circumference (− 3.11 cm) with 95% CI (1.89–4.33) in the EXP group compared to the CON group. The skeletal muscle mass did not change significantly. There was no significant change in the control group, either. The application of TRE in early elderly overweight men resulted in positive changes in body composition and visceral fat. All participants succeed in the prescribed diet plan, which shows that TRE is easy to maintain for early elderly overweight men and may become an essential obesity treatment tool in these age groups.

Abstract
Osteosarcopenia (OS) is defined by the concurrent presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia. The pathogenesis and etiology of OS involve genetic, biochemical, mechanical, and lifestyle factors. Moreover, an inadequate nutritional status, such as low intake of protein, vitamin D, and calcium, and a reduction in physical activity are key risk factors for OS. This review aims to increase knowledge about diagnosis, incidence, etiology, and treatment of OS through clinical studies that treat OS as a single disease. Clinical studies show the relationship between OS and the risk of frailty, falls, and fractures and some association with Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pathologies such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. In some cases, the importance of deepening the related mechanisms is emphasized. Physical exercise with adequate nutrition and nutritional supplementations such as proteins, Vitamin D, or calcium, represent a significant strategy for breaking OS. In addition, pharmacological interventions may confer benefits on muscle and bone health. Both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions require additional randomized controlled trials (RCT) in humans to deepen the synergistic effect of exercise, nutritional interventions, and drug compounds in osteosarcopenia.

Abstract
Osteosarcopenic obesity is a unique clinical condition where low bone and muscle mass coexist in individuals with obesity. Alterations in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and bone are strictly interconnected, and vitamin D plays key roles in several metabolic pathways that are involved in maintaining musculoskeletal health and glucose homeostasis. We reviewed the available literature on mechanisms underlying osteosarcopenic obesity, with a focus on the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis and treatment of the condition. We found that, although evidence from large observational studies and pre-clinical experiments strongly supports a role of vitamin D deficiency in the pathogenesis of osteosarcopenic obesity, the common belief that vitamin D improves musculoskeletal health lacks solid clinical evidence, as trials specifically aimed at assessing the effects of vitamin D supplementation in patients with osteosarcopenic obesity are not available, and trials that investigated the role of vitamin D on muscle and bone health in other patient populations either showed no or even detrimental effects. We conclude that large observational and interventional studies including individuals with osteosarcopenic obesity representative of different sex, age and race are needed to better define the role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis and treatment of this condition.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are substantially interrelated with shared cardiovascular risk factors. However, the relationship between osteosarcopenia and coronary artery disease is largely unexplored. We aimed to investigate the association between osteosarcopenia and coronary artery calcification (CAC) scores in asymptomatic adults. A total of 5969 asymptomatic adults without cardiovascular disease who underwent a health examination including estimation of CAC scores by cardiac tomography were analyzed. Osteoporosis was defined as low bone mineral density T-score ≤ − 2.5 standard deviation, and sarcopenia as appendicular skeletal muscle mass < 5.7 kg/m2 for women and < 7.0 kg/m2 for men, and osteosarcopenia as the copresence of both osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Participants were divided into four groups according to the presence of osteoporosis and/or sarcopenia as control, sarcopenia alone, osteoporosis alone, and osteosarcopenia. Prevalence of CAC was 22.0% in control, 23.6% in sarcopenia alone, 38.5% in osteoporosis alone, and 48.3% in osteosarcopenia group, with the osteosarcopenia group showing the highest (p < 0.0001). After adjustments for possible confounders, mean of log (CAC score + 1) in osteosarcopenia group was higher than other three groups (Bonferroni p < 0.0001). Using multivariate-adjusted analysis, subjects with osteosarcopenia had the highest risk for having CAC > 0 (odds ratio [OR] 2.868; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.717–4.790). Furthermore, subjects with osteosarcopenia had a significant risk of moderate-to-extensive CAC (CAC score ≥ 100) (OR 2.709; 95% CI 1.128–6.505). We demonstrated that osteosarcopenia was independently associated with a higher prevalence of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis. Our results suggest osteosarcopenia as a predisposing factor for coronary heart disease.

Abstract
The musculoskeletal conditions osteoporosis and sarcopenia are highly prevalent in older adults. Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone, whereas sarcopenia is identified by the loss of muscle strength, function and mass. Osteoporosis represents a major health problem contributing to millions of fractures worldwide on an annual basis, whereas sarcopenia is associated with a range of adverse physical and metabolic outcomes. They both affect physical and social function, confidence and quality of life as well as contributing to high health-care costs worldwide. Osteosarcopenia is the term given when both conditions occur concomitantly and it has been suggested that interactions between these two conditions may accelerate individual disease progression as co-existence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia is associated with higher morbidity from falls, fracture, disability as well as mortality. In this review, we will outline the epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical consequences of osteosarcopenia and discuss available management strategies.

Abstract
Background Osteosarcopenia, defined as sarcopenia plus osteopenia/osteoporosis, may increase the risk of fractures and affects morbidity and mortality in the older population. Falling is also common in the elderly and increases the risk of fractures and mortality. We examined the association of cardio-metabolic risk factors with a history of falling in osteosarcopenic men. Methods We used the baseline data of the Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program. Osteosarcopenia was defined as having both sarcopenia (reduced skeletal muscle mass plus low physical performance and/or low muscle strength) and osteopenia/osteoporosis (T-score ≤ − 1.0). Falling was defined as a self-reported history of an unintentional down on the ground during the previous year before the study. We used logistic regression analysis to estimate the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) to quantify the associations. Results All elderly men diagnosed with osteosarcopenia (n = 341), with a mean age of 73.3(±7.4) years, were included. Almost 50(14.7%) participants reported falling. Age showed a positive association with falling (AOR: 1.09, 95%CI: 1.04–1.14). An increase of 10 mmHg in systolic blood pressure(SBP), reduces the odds of falling by 26%(AOR:0.74, 95%CI:0.62–0.89), while a positive association was detected for fasting plasma glucose (FPG), as 10 mg/dl increase in the FPG, raises the chance of falling by 14%(AOR = 1.14, 95%CI:1.06,1.23). Hypertriglyceridemia was inversely associated with falling (AOR = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.12, 0.89). Conclusions Falling is a major public health problem in rapidly aging countries, especially in individuals with a higher risk of fragility fractures. Older age-raised fasting plasma glucose and low SBP are associated with falling in osteosarcopenic patients. Considering the higher risk of fracture in osteosarcopenic men, comprehensive strategies are needed to prevent fall-related injuries in this high-risk population.

Association between biomarkers of bone health and osteosarcopenia among Iranian older people: The Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) program. BMC Geriatr 2021; 21:654. [PMID: 34798818 PMCID: PMC8603566 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-021-02608-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Osteosarcopenia is referred to as co-incidence of osteoporosis/osteopenia and sarcopenia which is defined as a geriatric syndrome with a significant prevalence that increases morbidity and mortality. There are some relevant factors that can show an increased risk of incidence of osteosarcopenia. Aim We aimed to consider the association of bone turnover markers such as Osteocalcin (OC), C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide (CTX), Tartrate Resistant acid Phosphatase (TRAP), Bone Alkaline Phosphatase (BALP) and also other factors like vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous, and ALP with osteosarcopenia in elderly. Methods
We carried out a cross-sectional study on a random sample including 400 elder participants of Bushehr Elderly Health (BEH) study, in Iran. Osteopenia/ osteoporosis was defined as a T-score ≤ -1.0 standard deviation below the mean values of a young healthy adult. We defined sarcopenia as low muscle strength (handgrip strength<26 kg for men and <18 kg for women) with reduced skeletal muscle mass [Skeletal muscle index (SMI) < 7.0 kg/m2 for male and <5.4 kg/m2 for female]. Osteosarcopenia was considered as the presence of both osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia. We estimated the age-standardized prevalence of osteosarcopenia for men and women, separately. We used multivariable logistic regression to address the factors associated with osteosarcopenia. Results The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in OC), CTX, TRAP were between the osteosarcopenia (-) and osteosarcopenia (+) groups. No statistically significant difference was observed in BALP, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous, and ALP between the compared groups. In the multivariable logistic regression model, OC and CTX were associated with increased likelihood of osteosarcopenia [adjusted OR= 1.023(1.002-1.045 for OC, 4.363(1.389-15.474 for CTX)]. Furthermore, TRAP increases the odds of osteosarcopenia in crude model [OR= 1.333 (1.070- 1.660)]. Conclusions We observed the association between bone turnover markers particularly OC, CTX and osteosarcopenia. Given the rapid growth of the aging population, we should focus on geriatric diseases such as musculoskeletal disorders. Bone turnover markers maybe improve the early diagnosis, screening and assess the response to therapies in people with osteosarcopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Osteosarcopenia (OS), characterized by the coexistence of osteoporosis (OP) and sarcopenia (SP), is associated with high morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Nevertheless, its pathogenesis and treatment remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of Zhuanggu Zhitong Capsule (ZGZT) in OS rats. METHODS All the related targets of OS, corresponding targets for bioactive ingredients of ZGZT, intersection targets of ZGZT against OS, and signaling pathways were predicted and analyzed by network pharmacology. Next, a rat OS model was established by ovariectomy (OVX) and injection of dexamethasone (DXM). Rats were then randomly divided into a Control group, a Sham operation group, an OS model group, an OS+ZGZT group, and an OS+E2 group. The drug was given for 12 weeks. During treatment, body weight, forelimb grip and body composition were measured. In addition, bone mineral density (BMD) and micro CT were used to assess the left femur. After treatment, the left femur, left gastrocnemius, and left soleus, as well as uterus, liver, and kidney, were separated and analyzed using Histomorphology, Western blot, and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). RESULTS ZGZT could effectively improve the phenotypes of OS by increasing forelimb grip strength, percentage lean mass of the whole body (SMI) or appendicular lean (RSMI), BMD, levels of bone formation markers, improving the microstructure of femur, and decreasing apoptotic rate in femur and gastrocnemius in OS rats by up-regulating PI3K/Akt/Bcl2 signal pathway. CONCLUSIONS ZGZT may be a new treatment option for the prevention and treatment of OS.

Abstract
Aim. To study the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).Material and methods. Patients with stable CAD (n=387) were included in the study. The subjects were admitted to the hospital for planned myocardial revascularization (ages of 50-82). The median age was 65 [59;69] years. Most of the sample consisted of males - 283 (73.1%). 323 (83.5%) patients had arterial hypertension (AH), 57.1% - history of myocardial infarction, and a quarter of the patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The study of musculoskeletal system included the identification of sarcopenia in accordance with The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP, 2019); verification of osteopenia/osteoporosis according to the WHO criteria (2008); diagnosing osteosarcopenia in case of sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis coexistence.Results. At the initial screening of sarcopenia in accordance with EWGSOP, clinical signs (according to the Strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls (SARC-F) questionnaire) were detected in 41.3% of cases, but further examination (dynamometry, quantitative assessment of skeletal muscle) confirmed this diagnosis only in 19.9% of patients with CAD. Among the examined patients with CAD a low T-score according to DEXA was found in 53 (13.7%) of cases, and osteopenia was diagnosed 10 times more often than osteoporosis (90.6% vs. 9.4%). Furthermore, due to combination of low bone density (osteopenia/osteoporosis) and reduced muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia), osteosarcopenia was verified in one patient. Thus, the study revealed the prevalence of particular types of musculoskeletal disorders in 105 (27.1%) patients with stable CAD. The most common type of musculoskeletal disorder was sarcopenia - 52 cases (13.4%); osteopenia/osteoporosis was detected in 28 patients (7.2%), osteosarcopenia in 25 (6.5%). The most pronounced clinical manifestation of sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis, reflected by a higher score on the SARC-F questionnaire, low handgrip strength, small area of muscle tissue, low musculoskeletal index, as well as low values of bone mineral density, were observed in patients with osteosarcopenia. Patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis did not differ significantly from patients without musculoskeletal conditions in most parameters, with the exception of the T-score, the average SARC-F score, and muscle strength in men. The conducted correlation analysis revealed not only the relationship between the parameters of musculoskeletal function, but also their association with age, duration of AH, CAD, and type 2 DM.Conclusion. Several types of musculoskeletal disorders were found in a third of patients with CAD. Sarcopenia was revealed to be the most frequent type of musculoskeletal disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcopenia is a recently identified condition caused by the coexistence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia that affects the frail elderly population, leading to an increased risk of falls and fractures. Given the recent socio-economic interest associated with osteosarcopenia, the aim of this meta-analysis is to provide an overview of the factors potentially involved in its pathogenesis, assessing its population type, prevalence, and associated variables. METHODS A comprehensive systematic search for relevant studies, published from 2015 to 2020, was performed by using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. We analysed the variables of age, vitamin D, handgrip, and T-score in four different groups: healthy, osteopenic-osteoporotic, sarcopenic, and osteosarcopenic. RESULTS A total of 6504 patients from 16 studies were included in the final meta-analysis. The analysis of the individual variables reveals a statistically significant correlation between the handgrip test data and T-score (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The correlation between T-score values and handgrip strength suggests a new potential parameter in the development of predictive models that could be used in clinical practice, highlighting its importance for the diagnosis of osteosarcopenia.

Abstract
Background and objectives Sarcopenia is an important age-related disease which can lead to an increased risk of mortality, falls, fractures, and poor quality of life. So, timely detection can be effective in reducing the burden of disease. The aim of this study was to identify the most cost-effective strategy for sarcopenia screening in Iran. Materials and methods We constructed a Markov transition model over a life-time horizon based on natural history. Compared strategies included Sarcopenia scoring assessment models (SarSA-Mod), European working group on sarcopenia in older people (EWGSOP), Mini sarcopenia risk assessment (MSRA) and SARC-F. Parameters values were extracted from primary data and the literature, and the costs and Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were calculated for each strategy. Sensitivity analysis of uncertain parameters was also performed to determine the robustness of the model. Analysis was performed using 2020 version of TreeAge Pro software. Results All four screening strategies increased life time QALYs. After removing dominated strategy, the incremental cost per QALY gained for sarcopenia screening varied from $1875.67 for EWGSOP to $1898.33 for MSRA. Our base-case analysis showed that the most cost-effective strategy was EWGSOP and 2nd best was SarSA-Mod with $43,414.3 and $42,663.3 net monetary benefits given one GDP per capita ($5520.311) as willingness to pay, respectively. Sensitivity analysis of model parameters also showed robustness of results. Conclusions The results of the study, as the first economic evaluation of sarcopenia screening, showed that the EWGSOP strategy is more cost-effective than other strategies.

Abstract
Osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia are common geriatric diseases among older adults and harm activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QOL). Osteosarcopenia is a unique syndrome that is a concomitant of both osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia. This review aimed to summarize the related factors and clinical outcomes of osteosarcopenia to facilitate understanding, evaluation, prevention, treatment, and further research on osteosarcopenia. We searched the literature to include meta-analyses, reviews, and clinical trials. The prevalence of osteosarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults is significantly higher in female (up to 64.3%) compared to male (8–11%). Osteosarcopenia is a risk factor for death, fractures, and falls based on longitudinal studies. However, the associations between osteosarcopenia and many other factors have been derived based on cross-sectional studies, so the causal relationship is not clear. Few studies of osteosarcopenia in hospitals have been conducted. Osteosarcopenia is a new concept and has not yet been fully researched its relationship to clinical outcomes. Longitudinal studies and high-quality interventional studies are warranted in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome defined by the concomitant presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis (loss of bone mineral density (BMD)) and sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and/or function), which increases the risk of falls, fractures, and premature mortality. OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy of non-pharmacological (exercise and/or nutritional) interventions on musculoskeletal measures and outcomes in osteosarcopenic adults by reviewing findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS This review was registered at PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42020179292) and conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Electronic databases were searched for RCTs assessing the effect of at least one non-pharmacological intervention (any form of exercise and/or supplementation with protein, vitamin D, calcium or creatine) on any musculoskeletal measure/outcome of interest (BMD, bone strength/turnover, muscle mass and strength, physical performance, falls/fractures) in adults with osteosarcopenia as defined by any proposed criteria. RESULTS Two RCTs (of n=106 older osteosarcopenic adults (≥65 years)) assessing the effects of progressive resistance training (RT) (via resistance bands or machines; 2-3 times/week; ~60 minutes in duration) were eligible for inclusion. The two RCTs demonstrated moderate quality evidence that RT increases muscle mass, strength, and quality, with changes in strength and quality occurring before muscle mass (12 vs 28 weeks). There was low quality evidence that RT increases lumbar spine BMD and maintains total hip BMD when performed for 12 and 18 months, respectively, and moderate quality evidence that RT has no effect on markers of bone turnover or physical performance. No major adverse effects were recorded in either of the RCTs. There were no eligible RCTs examining the impact of nutritional interventions. CONCLUSION Chronic RT is safe and effective at potentiating gains in muscle mass, strength, and quality, and increasing or maintaining BMD in older osteosarcopenic adults. No RCT has examined the effects of protein, vitamin D, calcium, or creatine against a control/placebo in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Aging is a risk factor for the development of multiple chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and dementia. Life expectancy has increased in certain countries but this phenomenon is associated with a reduction of years of healthy life. Aging is associated with a number of physical and functional changes, especially sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a clinical condition associated with a decrease in skeletal muscle and muscle strength, however, sarcopenia is a reversible condition. On the basis of the current scientific literature, sarcopenia could more appropriately capture an individual's vulnerability to negative health-related outcomes since it represents an early form of the chronic diseases. Recognition of this clinical condition can improve the management of older individuals in many different clinical settings. Despite the limitations of the indirect methods used to study body composition, the Italian College of the Academic Nutritionists ME/49 recommends that health authorities and health professionals around the world should make a greater effort to diagnose sarcopenia earlier and to manage it more effectively. In line with the development of cancer screening, the use of two diagnostic tools for sarcopenia (BIA and DXA) should be implemented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcopenia, the presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia, is an emerging geriatric giant, which poses a serious global health burden. METHODS AND RESULTS The prevalence of osteosarcopenia ranges in community-dwelling older adults [5-37% (≥65 years)] with the highest rates observed in those with fractures (low-trauma fracture: ~46%; hip fracture: 17.1-96.3%). Among 2353 community-dwelling adults, risk factors associated with osteosarcopenia include older age [men: 14.3% (60-64 years) to 59.4% (≥75 years); women: 20.3% (60-64 years) to 48.3% (≥75 years), P < 0.05], physical inactivity [inverse relationship: 0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.46-0.88 (sexes combined)], low body mass index (inverse relationship: men: 0.84, 95% CI 0.81-0.88; women: 0.77, 95% CI 0.74-0.80), and higher fat mass (men: 1.46, 95% CI 1.11-1.92; women: 2.25, 95% CI 1.71-2.95). Among 148 geriatric inpatients, osteosarcopenic individuals demonstrate poorer nutritional status (mini-nutritional assessment scores: 8.50 ± 2.52 points, P < 0.001) vs. osteoporosis or sarcopenia alone, while among 253 older Australians, osteosarcopenia is associated with impaired balance and functional capacity [odds ratios (ORs): 2.56-7.19; P < 0.05] vs. non-osteosarcopenia. Osteosarcopenia also associates with falls (ORs: 2.83-3.63; P < 0.05), fractures (ORs: 3.86-4.38; P < 0.05), and earlier death [hazard ratio (1-year follow-up): 1.84, 95% CI; 0.69-4.92, P = 0.023] vs. non-osteosarcopenia. CONCLUSIONS This syndrome is expected to grow in age-related and disease-related states, a likely consequence of immunosenescence coinciding with increased sedentarism, obesity, and fat infiltration of muscle and bone. Evidence suggests the pathophysiology of osteosarcopenia includes genetic polymorphisms, reduced mechanical loading, and impaired endocrine functioning, as well as altered crosstalk between muscle, bone, and fat cells. Clinicians should screen for osteosarcopenia via imaging methods (i.e. dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) to quantify muscle and bone mass, in addition to assessing muscle strength (i.e. grip strength) and functional capacity (i.e. gait speed). A comprehensive geriatric assessment, including medical history and risk factors, must also be undertaken. Treatment of this syndrome should include osteoporotic drugs [bone anabolics/antiresorptives (i.e. teriparatide, denosumab, bisphosphates)] where indicated, and progressive resistance and balance exercises (at least 2-3 times/week). To maximize musculoskeletal health, nutritional recommendations [protein (1.2-1.5 g/kg/day), vitamin D (800-1000 IU/day), calcium (1300 mg/day), and creatine (3-5 g/day)] must also be met. It is anticipated that diagnosis and treatment for osteosarcopenia will become part of routine healthcare in the future. However, further work is required to identify biomarkers, which, in turn, may increase diagnosis, risk stratification, and targeted treatments to improve health outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the association between osteoporosis and sarcopenia and determine the prevalence of osteosarcopenia in patients who attended a rheumatology center in Ecuador. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in a population of patients who had a densitometric study. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was determined by the DXA standard gold test, screening, and conventional methods (bioimpedance, anthropometric measurements, SARC-F, muscle function, and gait test). RESULTS A total of 92 patients were studied. The median age was 66 ± 10, 90% females. Using the criteria of SMI, 65% had sarcopenia of which 9% had only sarcopenia and 56% had osteosarcopenia; 22% had only osteopenia/osteoporosis; and 13% none of these conditions. The prevalence of sarcopenia according to handgrip strength was 60%, gait speed 45%, and SARC-F score 40%. The prevalence of osteosarcopenia according to handgrip strength was 51%, gait speed 34%, and SARC-F score 32%. Osteoporosis was associated with a higher prevalence of sarcopenia using the criteria of SMI since 40% had sarcopenia in the normal DXA group, 64% in the osteopenia group, and 76% in the osteoporosis group (p=0.017). Of the women, 69% had sarcopenia compared to 33% of the men (p=0.034). The BMI was lower in the group with sarcopenia (25.1 ± 4.1 kg/m2) compared to the group without sarcopenia (29.4 ± 4.1 kg/m2, p < 0.001). Patients with osteosarcopenia and sarcopenia had lower BMI, handgrip strength, ASM, SMI, and total-body skeletal muscle mass than those with osteopenia/osteoporosis or normal patients. CONCLUSION 65% of the studied population had sarcopenia. It is clear that the prevalence of sarcopenia is higher in patients with greater loss of bone mass. Identifying pathways that affect both bone and muscle could facilitate the development of treatments that simultaneously improve osteoporosis and sarcopenia.
