It is the latest point of impairment in the bone,muscle and adipose tissue in older adults. OSO, as the name suggests, is the combination of three syndrome frequently encountered in the elderly: osteopenia/osteoporosis, sarcopenia and obesity.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Obesity | 2 minutes | The fat percentage and the Body Mass Index measured by bioimpedance analysis using Tanita TBF300 is recorded. For BMI, 30 kg/m2 and over is classified as obesity whereas fat percentage of %35 and %28 (woman and man, respectively) and over was classified as obese. |
| Muscle Strength | 5 minutes | Measured by hand held dynamometer. The cut-off scores for man and woman are 27 kg and 16 kg, respectively |
| Muscle Mass | 2 minutes | Measured by bioimpedance analysis using Tanita TBF300. The cut-off scores for man and woman are 9,2 kg/m2 and 7,4 kg/m2, respectively |
| Muscle Performance | 3 minutes | Tested by 4 meter walk test. If the gait speed is lower than 0,8 m/s, the test is positive. |
| T score | 1 hour | T scores of spine and femur neck examined with Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry. A T score\<-2,5 will be classified as osteoporosis while a T score between -1 and -2,5 will be counted as osteopenia |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| History of falls | 1 minutes | A patient's self stated history of falls will be considered as having a history of fall or not. |
| Comorbidity | 3 minutes | Using Charlson Comorbidity Index |
