Musculoskeletal Health

Meaning

Musculoskeletal health refers to the optimal structural integrity and functional capacity of the body’s interconnected system of muscles, bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and joints. This state enables physical movement, provides structural support, and ensures metabolic reservoir function, particularly for calcium and amino acids. It is profoundly influenced by endocrine factors, including sex steroids, growth hormone, and vitamin D, which regulate bone remodeling and muscle protein turnover.
