Abstract:
Sarcopenia is a syndrome with clinical manifestations of gradual decline in muscle mass and function. It mostly occurs in the elderly population, which can lead to weight loss and muscle strength weakening, resulting in difficulties in daily activities and seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. In recent years, the relationship between sarcopenia and cardiovascular metabolic diseases has received extensive attention. Studies have shown that sarcopenia is closely related to cardiovascular metabolic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus, and interacts with each other through insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and other mechanisms. This paper reviews the research progress on sarcopenia and cardiovascular metabolic diseases in the elderly in recent years, focusing on the relationship between sarcopenia and cardiovascular metabolic diseases, aiming to provide new ideas for clinical prevention and treatment of sarcopenia.
