A potential correlation between adipokines, skeletal muscle function and bone mineral density in middle-aged and elderly individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence exists of a strong association between inflammation and a decrease in skeletal muscle function and bone mineral density (BMD); however, the specific mechanisms of these associations remain unclear. Adipokines, as key regulators of the inflammatory response, may be implicated in these processes. The objective of this study was to explore the potential correlation between adipokines, skeletal muscle function and BMD in middle-aged and elderly individuals.

Methods

A comparative cross-sectional study was carried out at the Huadong Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University (Shanghai, China). A total of 460 middle-aged and elderly individuals were recruited, and 125 were enrolled in the analysis. Their biochemical indices, body composition, skeletal muscle func
