Abstract
Key summary points AbstractSection Aim To summarize current evidence on osteosarcopenia. AbstractSection Findings Knowledge on osteosarcopenia as a geriatric syndrome is growing. This will facilitate the development of robust biomarkers and new treatments with dual effect on muscle and bone. AbstractSection Message When assessing older persons for osteoporosis, concomitant assessment for sarcopenia (and vice versa) should be included as an essential part of the comprehensive geriatric assessment.Keywords
