Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the characteristics of older adults with a combination of pre-frailty, a precursor to frailty, and a low bone mass and to consider appropriate preventive interventions. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of older women with combined pre-frailty and a reduced bone mass, a precursor to frailty, and to obtain findings that contribute to both early detection and screening.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A total of 292 community-dwelling women aged ≥ 65 years were classified into four groups based on the presence or absence of a low bone mass and prefrailty: a normal, low bone mass, prefrail, and a low bone mass with prefrail groups.

In the prefrail group, the Geriatric Depression Scale-5 (GDS-5; odds ratio [OR]= 2.536, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.586-4.057) and a fear of falling (OR=2.662, 95%CI: 1.227-5.779) emerged as significant associated factors. In the low bone mass with prefrailty group, significant factors included TUG (OR=1.979, 95%CI: 1.188-3.296), MMSE (OR=0.771, 95%CI: 0.633-0.940), GDS-5 (OR=2.775, 95%CI: 1.732-4.368), and a fear of falling (OR=2.303, 95%CI: 1.091-4.860).
