Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The fundamental questions that this study aims to answer are as follows:
Does the quality of lumbar and abdominal core muscles, as assessed by elastography, affect the risk of vertebral fractures? Is there a relationship between muscle quality (as measured by elastography) and balance and quality of life in older adults?
