Musculoskeletal Density Preservation

Meaning

Musculoskeletal Density Preservation refers to the clinical and physiological process of maintaining optimal bone mineral density and lean muscle mass throughout the aging trajectory. This dual-focus strategy is essential for preventing sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass, and osteoporosis, the loss of bone density, which are major contributors to frailty, functional decline, and reduced quality of life in older adults. Achieving preservation requires a comprehensive approach that integrates hormonal optimization, targeted nutrition, and appropriate mechanical loading. The goal is to sustain physical resilience and metabolic health.
