Cross-sectional analysis demonstrates that muscle loss correlates with degraded bone microarchitecture in Chinese adults, highlighting low muscle mass as an independent risk factor.

Key Points

To examine the relationships between sarcopenia components—muscle mass, handgrip strength, and gait speed—and osteoporosis measures, including bone mineral density and trabecular bone score, in Chinese subjects.
Assessed bone microarchitecture using trabecular bone score (TBS) software and bone mass using bone mineral density (BMD).
Measured muscle strength with a Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer and physical performance using gait speed.
Evaluated associations between relative appendicular skeletal muscle mass (RASM), strength, and bone parameters via multiple linear regression.
In multiple linear regression, relative appendicular skeletal muscle mass positively associated with TBS in both sexes, but had no significant association with BMD.
Handgrip strength showed a positive association with TBS and all measured BMD sites in women, whereas no such association was observed in men.
Women with sarcopenia had lower TBS and BMD at all sites, while men with sarcopenia demonstrated lower BMD only at the femoral neck and total hip.
