Association of sarcopenia and fractures in community-dwelling older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies

In conclusion, we found that compared to nonsarcopenic, the association between sarcopenia and fractures among community-dwelling older people was significant when using the AWGS definition, and only for males. Future studies are needed to establish a possible association between sarco penia definitions and risk of fractures of different sites.
