更年期女性肌少症的研究进展

Research progress on sarcopenia in menopausal women

摘要:

随着全世界老年人口不断增多，肌少症患者也逐渐增加。女性由于更年期导致激素水平变化、炎症因子产生、生活方式改变等，可能会加速或导致肌少症。功能障碍和身体残疾是肌少症的主要结局，因此有必要通过健康的生活方式、中医药治疗或在适当时通过激素替代疗法来预防甚至治疗肌少症。该文阐述了肌少症的流行病学特征，以及更年期对肌少症产生和发展的影响。

Abstract:

As the global elderly population continues to grow, the prevalence of sarcopenia is also steadily increasing. In women, hormonal alterations, increased inflammatory factors, and lifestyle changes due to menopause may accelerate or contribute to the onset of sarcopenia. Functional impairment and physical disability are major outcomes of sarcopenia; therefore, it is essential to prevent and potentially treat sarcopenia through healthy lifestyle choices, traditional Chinese medicine, or, when appropriate, hormone replacement therapy. This review elucidated the epidemiological characteristics of sarcopenia and the impact of menopause on its onset and progression.
