Sarcopenia and bone disorders, such as osteopenia and osteoporosis, are common
musculoskeletal disorders in older adults. Therefore, this study aimed to establish the
association between sarcopenia and bone disorders such as osteoporosis and osteopenia
according to sex. We analyzed 3077 participants from the 2008–2011 Korean National
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey aged 65 years or older. After adjusting for all

Sarcopenia and bone disorders, such as osteopenia and osteoporosis, are common musculoskeletal disorders in older adults. Therefore, this study aimed to establish the association between sarcopenia and bone disorders such as osteoporosis and osteopenia according to sex. We analyzed 3077 participants from the 2008–2011 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey aged 65 years or older. After adjusting for all covariates, such as physical examinations, exercise, and nutrient intake (model 4), the odds ratios for the association between sarcopenia and bone disorders were 2.051 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.498–2.808) in osteopenia and 2.258 (95% CI: 1.584–3.218) in osteoporosis. However, when sex was analyzed separately, the odds ratio was significantly different in men (osteopenia—2.068, 95% CI: 1.462–2.924; osteoporosis—3.247, 95% CI: 1.953–5.399), but not in women. Therefore, the results of this study show an association between sarcopenia and bone disorders in older Korean adults. Sarcopenia is significantly related to osteopenia and osteoporosis, especially in men, when stratified by sex.
