Global prevalence of osteosarcopenic obesity amongst middle aged and older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Global prevalence of osteosarcopenic obesity amongst middle aged and older adults: a systematic... PurposeOsteosarcopenic obesity syndrome (OSO) is a recently recognized disorder encompassing osteopenia/osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity. However, evidence in pooling knowledge regarding the prevalence of OSO worldwide is scarce. Hence, this review aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of OSO in middle-aged and older adults.MethodsWe conducted systematic searches in Scopus, Embase, PubMed Central, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar from inception until October 2022. We evaluated the quality of the included studies using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. The meta-analysis results using a random-effects model included the pooled prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsWe included 20 studies with a total of 23,909 participants. Most of the studies were of good quality. The final pooled prevalence of OSO in middle-aged and older adults worldwide was 8% (95% CI: 6%-11%; n = 20). Females (pooled prevalence = 9%; 95% CI:7%-12%; n = 17) had a higher burden of OSO than males (pooled prevalence = 5%; 95% CI:3%-8%; n = 11). We also found that the burden was higher among studies reporting OSO prevalence only in the elderly population (pooled prevalence = 13%; 95% CI: 9%-17%).

Abstract

PurposeOsteosarcopenic obesity syndrome (OSO) is a recently recognized disorder encompassing osteopenia/osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity. However, evidence in pooling knowledge regarding the prevalence of OSO worldwide is scarce. Hence, this review aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of OSO in middle-aged and older adults.MethodsWe conducted systematic searches in Scopus, Embase, PubMed Central, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar from inception until October 2022. We evaluated the quality of the included studies using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. The meta-analysis results using a random-effects model included the pooled prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsWe included 20 studies with a total of 23,909 participants. Most of the studies were of good quality. The final pooled prevalence of OSO in middle-aged and older adults worldwide was 8% (95% CI: 6%-11%; n = 20). Females (pooled prevalence = 9%; 95% CI:7%-12%; n = 17) had a higher burden of OSO than males (pooled prevalence = 5%; 95% CI:3%-8%; n = 11). We also found that the burden was higher among studies reporting OSO prevalence only in the elderly population (pooled prevalence = 13%; 95% CI: 9%-17%). The asymmetric nature of the funnel plot indicates the presence of publication bias.
