Objectives: The prevalence of sarcopenia, an independent risk factor for fragility fractures, is high in geriatric hip fracture patients. We aim to compare patients with hip fractures to the general population using different dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) devices – General Electric (GE) Lunar and Hologic. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of patients diagnosed with osteoporotic hip fractures. At our institute, 252 patients with hip fractures were measured with the GE Lunar DXA. The control group included 252 matched individuals from a general population dataset whose data were measured with the Hologic DXA; controls were selected using nearest-neighbor propensity score matching. Measurements included appendicular lean mass (ALM), bone mineral density, and subsequent rates of sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Results: The BMD T-score was significantly lower in patients with hip fractures than in matched controls (−2.7 vs. −2.1, respectively; P |
