Osteosarcopenia in Patients with Hip Fracture Is Related with High Mortality.

CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that the prevalence of osteosarcopenia is not rare, and has a higher mortality rate than the non-osteosarcopenia group at the 1-year follow-up period. This is the first study evaluating the relationship between mortality and osteosarcopenia in patients with hip fracture. PMID: 29318794 [PubMed - in process]
