...Indeed, bone loss is typical in chronic inflammatory diseases (186–192) and other conditions or syndromes such as sarcopenia, as recently described (30)....

...In other words, a mild level of systemic inflammation present in physiological aging may not affect the loss of muscle mass or strength, but only the metabolic quality of skeletal muscle; conversely a more severe systemic inflammation (often accompanied by a local inflammation) present in a condition of accelerated aging, contributes to the loss of muscle mass and strength and the progression of sarcopenia (30)....

...All these disorders have been recently indicated with the term “osteosarcopenic obesity” (66), and, as mentioned earlier, they can be listed among the determinants of frailty (30, 67)....

...This shift toward catabolic process then culminates in myofiber proteolysis, atrophy and loss in regenerative ability that leads to skeletal muscle functional decline (29, 30)....
