TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide evidence-based rationale for using exercise and physical activity (PA) for health promotion and disease prevention and treatment in older adults, and discuss the specific modalities and doses that have been studied in randomised controlled trials for their effectiveness in attenuating physiological changes of ageing, disease prevention, and/or improvement of older adults with chronic disease and disability.

TL;DR: Exercise-induced stimulation of bioactive cytokines, through muscle-bone-fat crosstalk, increases muscle anabolism, bone formation, mitochondrial biogenesis, glucose utilization, and fatty acid oxidation, and attenuates chronic LGI.

TL;DR: Osteosarcopenia, the presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarc Openia, is an emerging geriatric giant, which poses a serious global health burden.

TL;DR: Findings from basic and clinical sciences aiming to understand osteosarcopenia have provided evidence of this syndrome as a case of geroscience, and research is in its infancy regarding accurate diagnostic markers and effective treatments with dual effects on muscle and bone.

TL;DR: Probiotics supplementation was associated with a lower incidence and severity of GI symptoms in marathon runners, although the exact mechanisms are yet to be elucidated.
