Abstract:
Sarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome associated with aging, accompaning with decreased skeletal muscle mass and muscle hypofunction, which will contribute to many adverse outcomes and seriously threaten the health status of the elderly.There are many studies concerning its risk factors and adverse outcomes of sarcopenia, but the correlation between sarcopenia and chronic pain is not fully clarified.This article will review the association between sarcopenia and chronic pain so as to provide a theoretical reference for future research on the risk factors and early prevention of sarcopenia.
