Secondly, we investigated nutrition as a mediator of the relationship between osteosarcopenia and frailty, relative to osteoporosis and sarcopenia alone, in a cohort of independent community-dwelling older adults. A multicategorical mediation model examined the potential mediating role of nutrition, using total MNA score, in the relationship between osteoporosis, sarcopenia and osteosarcopenia with frailty. Our study demonstrated that in relatively healthy community-dwelling older adults, osteosarcopenia is present in 11.7% of individuals and is associated with markers of nutrition, including lower MNA scores, BMI, calf, mid-arm and waist circumference. The strengths of this study include the analysis of a reasonably-sized cohort of independent community-dwelling older adults, the use of contemporary consensus definitions for sarcopenia in an Asian population, and comprehensive evaluation of nutritional status.	./cache/cord-293311-dr2ysrwe.txt	./txt/cord-293311-dr2ysrwe.txt
