Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sarcopenia and osteoporosis are prevalent age-related musculoskeletal disorders that contribute significantly to frailty, falls, fractures, and reduced quality of life in older adults. With the global aging population on the rise, there is a growing need for innovative diagnostic tools, preventive strategies, and effective treatment modalities. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the understanding and management of sarcopenia and osteoporosis. We invite original research articles, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews focusing on pharmacological treatments, biomarker development, and novel regenerative and technological approaches. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote integrative solutions for improving musculoskeletal health in aging populations.
