NCT ID NCT07519720
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores risk factors for osteosarcopenia—a condition where both bones and muscles weaken—in adults aged 60-80. Researchers will measure bone density, muscle strength, physical fitness, and dietary habits, then compare them with younger adults. The goal is to understand how lifestyle changes like exercise and healthy eating might help prevent or manage this condition.
