Popis: Objective To investigate the relationship between grip strength and physical mobility and bone mineral density(BMD) in elderly hospitalized patients. Methods 235 elderly patients(≥ 60 years) treated in the Department of Geriatrics of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from October 2020 to October 2021 were selected to assess their grip strength and physical mobility(gait speed, 5 sitting up test time, and up-and-go test time) and analyze their correlation with BMD. Results Univariate analysis showed that grip strength and gait speed were positively correlated with BMD, and up-and-go test time and 5 sitting up test time were negatively correlated with BMD, and this correlation was present in patients of both genders(P
