Prevalence of Osteosarcopenic Obesity in Older Adults

Osteosarcopenic Obesity (OSO) is a syndrome characterized by the loss of bone and muscle in addition to increase in the fat tissue as a result of aging process. It is the latest point of impairment in the bone,muscle and adipose tissue in older adults. OSO, as the name suggests, is the combination of three syndrome frequently encountered in the elderly: osteopenia/osteoporosis, sarcopenia and obesity. The aims of study are to determine the prevalence of OSO syndrome in community-dwelling adults of Turkey and determine the possible factors regarding risk of falling in this population

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. T score

    Time frame: 1 hour

    T scores of spine and femur neck examined with Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry. A T score<-2,5 will be classified as osteoporosis while a T score between -1 and -2,5 will be counted as osteopenia

  2. Muscle Strength

    Time frame: 5 minutes

    Measured by hand held dynamometer. The cut-off scores for man and woman are 27 kg and 16 kg, respectively

  3. Muscle Mass

    Time frame: 2 minutes

    Measured by bioimpedance analysis using Tanita TBF300. The cut-off scores for man and woman are 9,2 kg/m2 and 7,4 kg/m2, respectively

  4. Muscle Performance

    Time frame: 3 minutes

    Tested by 4 meter walk test. If the gait speed is lower than 0,8 m/s, the test is positive.

  5. Obesity

    Time frame: 2 minutes

    The fat percentage and the Body Mass Index measured by bioimpedance analysis using Tanita TBF300 is recorded. For BMI, 30 kg/m2 and over is classified as obesity whereas fat percentage of %35 and %28 (woman and man, respectively) and over was classified as obese.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Comorbidity

    Time frame: 3 minutes

    Using Charlson Comorbidity Index

  2. History of falls

    Time frame: 1 minutes

    A patient's self stated history of falls will be considered as having a history of fall or not.
