Scope: Sarkopenia and osteoporosis share common risk factors and biological pathways. In this study, patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis were scaned in terms of sarcopene using the algorithm recommended by the European Senior Sarkopene Working Group (EWGSOP) and balanced disorders in sarcopene patients were studied. Method: Fifty-three postmenopausal osteoporosis patients were evaluated in terms of sarcopene according to the algorithm recommended by EWGSOP. In the assessment of the speed of walking from the parameters included in the algorithm, the timely rise and walk test (ZKY) was used in the measurement of capability, the Jamar hand dynamometer and the muscle mass measurement of the wheat circle (cm). Balance, Berg Balance Scale and Functional Qualification were assessed using ZKY. The findings: 53 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients with an average age of 65.48±9.12 (47-84) years were taken to study. Sixteen patients (30,2%) decline in the previous year, 22 patients (41,5%) had a history of breaking and 17 patients (32,1%) had a history of mother's neck breaking. In eight (15.1% of patients, sarcopene was detected. There was no significant difference between balanced measurements in sarkopenic and non-sarkopenic patients (p>0,05). Only the muscle mass showed a positive weak correlation and a meaningful relationship with the balance (r=0.28, p<0.05). The result: the proportion of sarcopenial patients was very low and the imbalance in sarcopenial patients was not meaningful. The use of more objective methods instead of anthropometric measurements for the measurement of muscle mass in the scan of Sarkopeni will provide more accurate data.
