Abstract
Osteoporosis (low bone mineral density) and sarcopenia (muscle loss) are collectively known as Osteosarcopenia. Osteoporosis and sarcopenia appear to affect the patient's fat content as the level of physical activity decreases, resulting in obesity. These three terms are named as “Osteosarcopenic obesity.” Osteoporosis and obesity have increased health care costs tremendously over the years. Nutritional modifications like sufficient magnesium, calcium, protein, vitamin D, and omega-3 and some pertinent exercises help patients dealing with this syndrome. This syndrome could be overcome by modifying dietary patterns and increasing physical activity as lifestyle choices greatly influence its prevalence. This article will help to understand the relationship between Osteosarcopenia and obesity and their associated risks.
