Highlights • Osteodynapenia but not osteosarcopenia increased the risk of fracture. • Osteodynapenia did not lead to a significantly greater fracture risk compared to having osteopenia or dynapenia alone. • Osteosarcopenia but not osteodynapenia increased the risk of mortality. • Osteosarcopenia did not lead to a significantly greater mortality risk compared to having osteopenia or sacropenia alone. Abstract Aim: To determine whether older adults with low muscle mass (sarcopenia) and strength (dynapenia), in the presence of osteoporosis/osteopenia, have an increased risk of fracture and mortality over 10 years, compared to those with low muscle or low bone mass alone or with neither condition. Methods: 1032 participants (52% women; mean age 62.9 ± 7.4 years) were prospectively followed for 10 years. Mortality was ascertained from the death registry and fractures were self-reported. Baseline appendicular lean mass (ALM) was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and normalised to body mass index (BMI). Hand grip strength (HGS) was assessed by dynamometer. Osteosarcopenia and osteodynapenia were defined as having T-scores of the total hip and/or lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) < –1 combined with being in the lowest 20% of the sex-specific distribution for ALM/BMI or HGS respectively. Results: Incident fracture risk was significantly higher in participants who were osteodynapenic (RR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.26–3.39), dynapenic alone (RR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.05–2.87), and osteopenic alone (RR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.15–2.31), compared to those without dynapenia or osteopenia. Mortality risk was significantly higher only in participants with osteosarcopenia (RR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.01–2.21) compared to those without sarcopenia or osteopenia. However, osteosarcopenia and osteodynapenia did not lead to a significantly greater fracture or mortality risk compared to having these conditions on their own. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the combined effect of osteopenia and sarcopenia or dynapenia on fracture and mortality risk, respectively, may not be greater than that of each individual condition.
