Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. Provide the epidemiological data of the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of osteoporosis and sarcopenia among the elderly in rural areas.
2. Screen osteoporosis and sarcopenia among the elderly and provide with assistance for following care in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment rates of osteoporosis and sarcopenia
3. Construct a pragmatic and integrated care service model for osteoporosis and sarcopenia in the elderly people from rural areas

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Investigators plan to use a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial that allocates participants into the following three groups:
1. Screening group: Inform the elderly about the results of the screening and recommend those with moderate to high risk of fracture to receive active examination and treatment.
2. Multi-disciplinary team intervention group: Introduce integrated services of health education, nutrition, rehabilitation, medication evaluation and other multi-specialties to assist study participants with health promotion.
3. Control group (Delayed intervention): receive general care after collecting basic information, and provide health education related information such as osteoporosis sarcopenia. After two year's follow-up, multi-disciplinary team intervention service will be implemented.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Screening group
Inform the elderly about the results of the screening and recommend those with moderate to high risk of fracture to receive active examination and treatment.
Osteoporosis screening and treatment as needed
All residents underwent screening using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and Mobile dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Horizon Wi, Hologic Inc., Bedford, MA). Our study nurses actively assisted osteoporosis treatment if indicated.
Multi-component integrated intervention
Introduce integrated services of health education, nutrition, rehabilitation, pharmaceutical care, and other multi-specialties to assist study participants with health promotion
Osteoporosis screening and treatment as needed
All residents underwent screening using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and Mobile dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Horizon Wi, Hologic Inc., Bedford, MA). Our study nurses actively assisted osteoporosis treatment if indicated.
Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia assessment adhered to the 2019 Consensus Update on Sarcopenia Diagnosis and Treatment by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia guideline. Following screening, individuals identified with sarcopenia underwent tailored interventions involving exercise and nutrition as deemed necessary.
Exercise
TheraBand (resistance band) was utilized as the exercise tool within the community. T
Nutrition
Nutrition Nutritional education programs aim to increase protein food serving and the choice of those with insufficient dietary intake. Protein supplement was added if indicated.
Pharmaceutical care
We collected drug information of the elderly. Detailed and real-time prescription drug information was retrieved from the National Health Insurance PharmaCloud System. A pharmaceutical care team performed patient-centered drug review and discussion every three to six months.
Delayed intervention
receive general care after collecting basic information, and provide health education related information such as osteoporosis sarcopenia. After two year's follow-up, multi-disciplinary team intervention service will be implemented.
