ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND &

AIMS:

Osteosarcopenia is a recently recognized geriatric syndrome. The association between osteosarcopenia and mortality risk is still largely underexplored. In this systematic review with meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies, we aimed to explore whether osteosarcopenia could be associated with a higher mortality risk.

METHODS:

Several databases were searched from the inception to 16th February 2024 for prospective cohort studies dealing with osteosarcopenia and mortality. We calculated the mortality risk in osteosarcopenia vs. controls using the most adjusted estimate available and summarized the data as risk ratios (RRs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A random-effect model was considered for all analyses.

RESULTS:

Among 231 studies initially considered, nine articles were included after exclusions for a total of 14,429 participants (mean age 70 years; 64.5% females). The weighted prevalence of osteosarcopenia was 12.72%. Over a mean follow-up of 6.6 years and after adjusting for a mean of four covariates, osteosarcopenia was associated with approximately 53% increased risk of mortality (RR 1.53; 95% CI 1.28-1.78). After accounting for publication bias, the re-calculated RR was 1.48 (95%CI 1.23-1.72). The quality of the studies was generally good, as determined by the Newcastle Ottawa Scale.

CONCLUSIONS:

Osteosarcopenia was significantly linked with an increased risk of mortality in older people, indicating the need to consider the presence of osteoporosis in patients with sarcopenia, and vice versa, since the combination of these two conditions typical of older people may lead to further complications, such as mortality.
