Details and patient eligibility

About

The study was performed on 53 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients who presented to our osteoporosis outpatient clinic. Following written informed consent, patients were evaluated for sarcopenia according to the sarcopenia algorithm proposed by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP). Algorithm parameters were walking speed, muscle strength and muscle mass measurements. We used Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) for evaluation of walking speed, Jamar Hand Dynamometer for muscle strength assessment, and calf circumference for muscle mass measurement. Balances of the patients were evaluated with Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and functional skills were evaluated with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). Other clinical parameters (age, body mass index (BMI), 25OHvitD level, menopause age, fall within the last year, fracture history, history of fracture in mother) were questioned.
