| Osteoporosis has become a global public health problem and cutting-edge research problem. The senility of the musculoskeletal system in the elderly can cause muscle atrophy, osteopenia, resulting in lossing of muscle tone, droping of motoricity and balance, walking slowly, increasing osteopsathyrosis, easily fracture, eventually lead to lower quality of life in the elderly.It is very urgent and important that relationship between the aspects of muscle, bone and osteoporosis. Hence,the Osteoporosis Committee of China Gerontological Society set up the muscle,bone and osteoporosis group,and experts write the "muscle, bone and osteoporosis expert consensus", which will provide the guideline about the clinical diagnosis, treatment of osteoporosis and scientific research. The consensus confirms: Osteoporosis is closely related to the muscle and bone. There are many common risk factors about osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Musculoskeletal metabolic biochemical index which guide about the diagnosis of metabolic musculoskeletal disease and therapeutic evaluation can reflect the musculoskeletal metabolic state. DXA is recommended to measure muscle mass and bone mineral density .Evaluation of myodynamia and balance ability determine risk of falls. Both muscle and bone have a potential drug target .Locomotory Musculoskeletal can increase the peak of bone mass, regulate signaling pathways of bone metabolism, and promote bone formation.Osteoporosis people should pay attention to individualized exercise. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds that muscle and bone are closely related to the spleen, liver and kidney, osteoporosis mainly locates in the kidney, spleen and collateral channels.it is mainly associated with shenxu(kidney deficiency), pixu(spleen deficient) and blood stasis, emphasize equal attention about bone, tendon and muscle, static and dynamic combination. The main treatment principle is bushen, jianpi and huoxue (nourishing kidney, spleen and invigorate blood). |
