Association of calf circumference with osteoporosis and hip fracture in middle-aged and older adults: a secondary analysis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Osteosarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome associated with an increased risk of frailty, falls, fractures, disability, and death. Calf circumference (CC) has been used as a simple and practical skeletal muscle marker to diagnose sarcopenia.
