Determinants of Bone Health in Older Adults

Abstract: Objective:The objective of this study was to determine the predictors of bone health in older adults. Methods: A total of 313 subjects older than 65 years (mean age 74.2±6.4 years, 70.6% female) were included in the study. Demographic characteristics of participants such as gait speed, handgrip strength, level of physical activity (using Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity-RAPA scale), vitamin D levels, T scores of femur neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS) were recorded. Results: Based on FN, 40.7% of participan… Show more

“…Bone is a kind of connective tissue that is mineralized and made up of three different cell types (osteoblast, osteocyte, and osteoclast) and a biphasic extracellular matrix (the mineral-to-organic ratio is about 7:3) ( Kolbasi et al, 2020 ). The creation of the skeleton by collagen fibers and cells (primarily COL-I) initiates bone metabolism.…”
