Highlights overlapping cardiometabolic and sarcopenic risks in older adults; leaves open mechanistic studies to guide prevention.
Understanding the pathophysiologic mechanisms of sarcopenic obesity is important for elucidating the relationship between cardiometabolic syndrome and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in older adults.
Domínguez et al. (2007) conducted a review in Cardiometabolic syndrome and sarcopenic obesity. Cardiometabolic syndrome and sarcopenic obesity are overlapping public health problems in older adults that increase the risk of cardiovascular mortality and type 2 diabetes.
