Muscle Impact of Treating Osteoporosis (NCT05666310)
The Impact of Osteoporosis Medications on Muscle Health in Older Adults
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Osteosarcopenia is a geriatric musculoskeletal syndrome characterized by co-existence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia (low skeletal muscle mass, strength, and/or functional capacity). There is strong evidence of overlap between the pathophysiology of osteoporosis and sarcopenia (muscle-bone crosstalk). This research plan will further explore the relationship between bone and muscle, and provide new information about effect of osteoporosis medications on muscle health in older adults who are under treatment for osteoporosis.
