Sarcopenia
Progressive and generalised loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength.
Frailty
Age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass with physical function impairment.
Osteoporosis
Characterised by progressive bone mineralisation loss over time leading to reduced bone mass and fragmentation of bone architecture.
