| Sarcopenia-osteoporosis has become a global public health problem and frontier research problem. At present, there are still some practical problems such as single diagnosis and treatment, and imperfect management of sarcopenia-osteoporosis. The China Health Promotion Foundation organized experts to compile the Expert Consensus on sarcopenia-osteoporosis to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis, treatment and scientific research of sarcopenia-osteoporosis. The consensus discussed: sarcopenia-osteoporosis is a degenerative metabolic syndrome coexisting with sarcopenia and osteoporosis, has a common basis of pathogenesis, the diagnostic criteria should be osteoporosis and sarcopenia coexisting, prevention is more important than treatment. The goal of treatment for sarcopenia-osteoporosis is to improve muscle mass, muscle strength, body balance, bone mass, and bone quality, and to avoid falls and fractures. The management of sarcopenia-osteoporosis should pay equal attention to muscle and bone, based on comprehensive diagnosis, standardized treatment, doctor-patient cooperation, scientific evaluation and regular follow-up mechanism. |
