Frailty phenotype as mediator between systemic inflammation and osteoporosis and fracture risks: A prospective study

Abstract

Systemic inflammation and frailty phenotype are independently linked to increased risks of OP and fracture. The frailty phenotype partially mediates the association between systemic inflammation and osteoporotic traits. These results highlight the significance of interventions targeting systemic inflammation and frailty in OP and fracture prevention and management.
