Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The following Special Issue focuses on the evaluation of aging and concurrent constitutional changes such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and obesity that are associated with progressive functional decline. The co-occurrence and mutual interference of these risk factors are the main areas under investigation worldwide. For example, the coexistence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia has recently been defined in some groups as a syndrome termed “osteosarcopenia”. Visceral or subcutaneous is the main area of investigation for future studies. Diagnosis in the early stages of the disease, taking prophylaxis and treatment measures, will lead to decision making at the level of clinical research and health policy.
