Association between kinesiophobia and bone mineral density in hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis: a cross-sectional study.

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
Objective: To examine the association between kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and lumbar spine Bone mineral density (BMD) among hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 246 hospitalized adults aged 60 years or older with osteoporosis who were admitted to orthopedic wards at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University between August and October 2025. Kinesiophobia was assessed using the 17-item Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-17), with scores ≥37 indicating the presence of kinesiophobia. The primary outcome, volumetric trabecular bone mineral density (BMD), was measured at the lumbar spine (L1-L4) using quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Spearman correlation and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate factors associated with BMD. Results: Among 246 participants (53 men,193 women),186 (75.6%) exhibited kinesiophobia. CT-measured BMD was significantly lower in participants with kinesiophobia (p < 0.001). Kinesiophobia showed a moderate negative correlation with BMD (ρ = -0.286, Conclusion: Among hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis, kinesiophobia was independently associated with lower bone mineral density. These findings underscore the clinical relevance of assessing and addressing fear of movement as part of comprehensive osteoporosis care in hospitalized older adults.
