Review Meta Analysis
The association between sarcopenia and fracture in middle-aged and elderly people: A systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.
The association between sarcopenia and risk of fracture remained controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between sarcopenia and fracture incidence in the middle-aged and elderly people. ⋯ Our meta-analysis found that sarcopenia was significantly associated with fracture in middle aged and elderly people. However, more homogeneous studies are needed to fully clarify the relationship between sarcopenia and fracture.
