Condition of bone and muscle tissue in elderly and elderly patients

Abstract

RELEVANCE.The state of the musculoskeletal system is an important factor in the quality of life and the preservation of autonomy of retired and elderly people. In recent years, the problem of coexistence the reduction in bone mineral density with the loss of muscle mass and function ― "osteosarcopenia" ― has become more and more urgent. Osteoporosis and sarcopenia, both in combination and separately, cause an increase in treatment costs and significantly affect the quality of life of the elderly.However, in the literature available to us, clinical information about the coexistence of pathology of the musculoskeletal system is insufficient, which determined the purpose of our investigation.
