Summary

This study looks at whether common osteoporosis medications also improve muscle health in adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will measure changes in muscle mass, strength, and walking speed over time. The goal is to better understand the link between bone and muscle health in people with osteoporosis or sarcopenia.
