J Bone Miner Res. 2013. doi: 10.1002/jbmr.1968. This analysis quantifies the competing risks of mortality and re-fracture in older patients. It underscores the importance of accurately predicting both fracture risk and mortality risk when making treatment decisions.

This paper summarizes the current hypotheses linking muscle and bone mass in older adults. Because both sarcopenia and bone density loss increase with age, understanding their biology may result in new targets for intervention.
