Abstract:

Sarcopenia is an age-related pathological change in muscle mass and strength loss.Sarcopenia and obesity share a common pathological mechanism, and there are mutually reinforcing mechanisms.The concept of sarcopenic obesity (SO) has been widely recognized, which is mainly manifested by a decrease in muscle mass accompanied by an absolute or relative increase in fat mass.The increasing incidence of SO is a significant public health risk in aging societies.Because of some differences in diagnostic criteria, the prevalence of SO in the East and the West is inconsistent.Low muscle strength is the most important diagnostic criteria for SO, and dietary intervention and physical exercise are the main measures to treat SO.This article reviews the definition, epidemiology, diagnostic methods, treatment, and other aspects of SO, so as to provide the basis and direction for further research in the future.

Key words: Sarcopenic obesity, Sarcopenia, Obesity, Muscle
