Abstract

This Research Topic collection entitled “Reducing the Burden of Age-Related Disease in Relation to Osteoporosis, Sarcopenia and Osteosarcopenia,” developed by authors from various countries, aims to investigate different strategies for screening, diagnosis, and management of sarcopenia and osteoporosis as major public health threats to aging populations. The articles published in this Research Topic introduce novel imaging and laboratory approaches for screening and early detection of osteoporosis and sarcopenia, and propose effective prevention and treatment strategies. They also provide evidence as to how newly emerged nutrition, physical activity, and medication approaches can effectively prevent devastating complications and consequences of sarcopenia and osteoporosis.
