Weighted means and standard errors were used for continuous data, while frequencies with weighted percentages were used for categorical data. The p-values reflect overall differences in characteristics among the four osteosarcopenia phenotypes. BMI, Body mass index; OP, Osteoporosis; SP, Sarcopenia; OS, Osteosarcopenia

aStatistically significant difference from the neither OP nor SP group after post-hoc analysis using Bonferroni correction (P-value < 0.0167)
