The Joint Occurrence of Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia (Osteosarcopenia): Definitions and Characteristics

TLDR
Osteosarcopenia was associated with worse SPPB, TUG, FSS, limit of stability, and falls and fractures history, and those with osteosarc Openia had greater impairment of physical performance and balance.

Osteosarcopenia: epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment-facts and numbers.

TL;DR: Osteosarcopenia, the presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarc Openia, is an emerging geriatric giant, which poses a serious global health burden.

Associations of Muscle Mass and Strength with All-Cause Mortality among US Older Adults

TL;DR: Low muscle strength was independently associated with elevated risk of all-cause mortality, regardless of muscle mass, metabolic syndrome, sedentary time, or LTPA among US older adults, indicating the importance of muscle strength in predicting aging-related health outcomes in older adults.

Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) Criteria are Strongly Associated With Malnutrition, Depression, Falls, and Fractures in High-Risk Older Persons.

TL;DR: SDOC criteria are strongly associated with important health status indicators in high-risk older persons, which strengthens the clinical utility of the SDOC in these populations.

Bone-Muscle Mutual Interactions.

TL;DR: The identification of these signaling molecules and their underlying mechanisms offers the very real and exciting possibility that new pharmaceutical approaches can be developed that will permit the simultaneous treatments of diseases that often occur in combination, such as osteoporosis and sarcopenia.

Osteosarcopenia Predicts Falls, Fractures, and Mortality in Chilean Community-Dwelling Older Adults

TL;DR: Osteosarcopenia is a common condition among older adults and is associated with an increased risk of falls, fractures, functional impairment, and mortality, and screening for the second condition when the first is suspected should be advised.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons

TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.

A short physical performance battery assessing lower extremity function: association with self-reported disability and prediction of mortality and nursing home admission.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that performance measures can validly characterize older persons across a broad spectrum of lower extremity function and that performance and self-report measures may complement each other in providing useful information about functional status.

Validation of a combined comorbidity index.

TL;DR: The estimated relative risk of death from an increase of one in the comorbidity score proved approximately equal to that from an additional decade of age.
