Evaluation of insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) level and its impact on muscle and bone mineral density in frail elderly male

Highlights • Male subjects with a low IGF-1 level may be at risk of being frail and having abnormal BMD. • The IGF-1 level had a significant effect on some anthropometric measures and BMD. • IGF-1 level may be a screening marker in the detection of frailty.
