Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global burden of metabolic disorders is increasing due to a variety of factors, including sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, environmental factors, genetic predisposition, and an aging population. These can have detrimental effects on various aspects of body physiology, such as nutrient processing, energy production, and hormonal regulation. Consequently, metabolic disorders can significantly affect skeletal tissues, resulting in bone and cartilage loss. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis are more likely to develop, and the risk of bone fractures increases as well. Effectively managing these issues requires not only the treatment of the underlying metabolic disorder but also targeted therapies to promote bone and cartilage health. In light of these concerns, we invite submissions for this Special Issue focusing on musculoskeletal diseases related to metabolic disorders. By disseminating the latest research and insights, we aim to enhance understanding and improve approaches in addressing the musculoskeletal consequences of metabolic dysfunction. We welcome original research articles and comprehensive review papers that explore the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal diseases associated with metabolic disorders.
