Differences in the level of physical fitness and mobility among older women with osteoporosis and healthy women—cross-sectional study

Abstract The main aim of the study was to assess the risk of falls, and physical fitness in the group of women aged 60 to 65 years of age suffering from an identified osteoporosis in comparison to a similar group of healthy women. The main question was: What is the level of physical fitness and risk...
