Muscle size and density are independently associated with death after hip fracture: A prospective cohort study

Abstract Background Mortality following hip fracture is high and incompletely understood. We hypothesize that hip musculature size and quality are related to mortality following hip fracture. This study aims to investigate the associations of hip muscle area and density from hip CT with death follow...
