Introduction. Aging leads to progressive loss of muscle mass, decreased muscle strength and impairment of functional capacity, a condition known as sarcopenia, which is associated with higher mortality. Concomitantly, there is redistribution of fat and increase in adipose tissue (sarcopenic obesity), which accelerates atherosclerosis. Intramuscular fat infiltration further impairs muscle …
Osteoporosis and its main consequence, fracture, is a global public health problem. Bone fragility fractures typically occur in the hip, spine and wrist, although they can affect any bone in the skeleton. The evaluation of bone mineral density (BMD) at these sites by dual emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is currently considered the gold standard method for diagnosing osteoporosis, howe…
Osteoporosis, although a global problem of public health, in part due to the increase in the number of people aged more than 65 years, is still largely neglected in developing countries. Besides the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) obtained by densitometry, several clinical factors are identified as associated with increased risk of this disease. Aiming to better predict the risk of fractures i…
