Epidemiology and effect on physical function of osteosarcopenia in community-dwelling elderly people in Chinese.
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe prevalence and impact on physical function of osteosarcopenia in the Chinese population remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of osteosarcopenia and its association with physical function in the elderly population of China. METHODS AND
resultsA total of 519 participants (327 males, 192 females; mean age: 67.2 years) elderly people were recruited. Physical performance was evaluated using the Timed Up and Go test and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Osteoporosis was diagnosed based on the 1994 WHO criteria, while sarcopenia was defined according to the AWGS guidelines. Osteosarcopenia was diagnosed when both sarcopenia and osteoporosis were present. Among the participants, osteosarcopenia was identified in 27 (5.20%), sarcopenia-alone in 6 (1.16%), and osteoporosis-alone in 257 (49.52%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that age (OR = 1.188, 95% CI: 1.085-1.300) and insufficient exercise (< 30 min/day) (OR = 5.606, 95% CI: 1.591-19.762) were significant associated factors for osteosarcopenia. Conversely, body mass index (OR = 0.569, 95% CI: 0.440-0.736), basal metabolic rate (OR = 0.992, 95% CI: 0.989-0.996), and weekly egg consumption (OR = 0.713, 95% CI: 0.564-0.900) were negatively associated with osteosarcopenia. Regarding physical function, individuals with osteosarcopenia exhibited significantly poorer physical performance, including longer times in the five-repetition sit-to-stand test, slower TUG times, reduced handgrip strength, lower SPPB scores, and slower gait speeds (P < 0.01-P < 0.001).
conclusionThis study highlights the prevalence of osteosarcopenia and its impact on physical function in the elderly Chinese population. It identifies key associated factors that could guide the early recognition, diagnosis, and management of osteosarcopenia in China.
