چکیده

➤ Bone and muscle tissues are in close relationship, and the aging process is a factor involved in the loss of the functionality of both bones and muscles.➤ Sarcopenia and osteoporosis are linked from a biological and functional perspective and are related to an increased fracture risk in the elderly.➤ The increased fracture risk in sarcopenic and osteoporotic subjects is due to the decline of muscle mass and strength, the decrease in bone mineral density, and limited mobility.

Dairy in Adulthood: From Foods to Nutrient Interactions on Bone and Skeletal Muscle Health

The risk of fragility fractures exponentially increases with aging. Reduced mass and strength of both bone in osteoporosis and skeletal muscle in sarcopenia play a key role in the age-related incidence of fragility fractures. Undernutrition is often observed in the elderly, particularly in those subjects experiencing osteoporotic fractures, more likely as a cause than a consequence. Calcium (Ca...

Osteoporosis: pathogenesis and clinical intervention.

Osteoporosis is a very common disorder and much has been learnt in recent years about the many pathogenic processes that contribute to bone loss and fragility. Drug treatments are now available to prevent bone loss and reduce fracture, and there are prospects for modifying some of the pathogenic processes themselves. In common with other structures, the tissues of the musculoskeletal system und...

Sarcopenia in Orthopedic Surgery.

Sarcopenia is a loss of skeletal muscle mass in the elderly that is an independent risk factor for falls, disability, postoperative complications, and mortality. Although its cause is not completely understood, sarcopenia generally results from a complex bone-muscle interaction in the setting of chronic disease and aging. Sarcopenia cannot be diagnosed by muscle mass alone. Diagnosis requires 2...
