The aim of the study is to assess the risk factors for osteosarcopenia in older adults, taking into account physical activity, healthy eating habits and education. During the project, the following will be assessed: bone density, handgrip strength, physical activity, functional physical fitness, the incidence of falls and bone fractures over the last 10 years, and dietary habits. The results of the study will then be compared with those of a younger population.
