Bone disorders are serious complications in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), especially in postmenopausal female patients. Given that osteoporosis interrelates closely with sarcopenia, the concept of osteosarcopenia (coexistence of the two complications) has been established. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between osteoporosis, sarcopenia, vertebral fracture, and osteosarcopenia in PBC patients.
