Abstract

The locomotive syndrome is a serious health condition that places the elderly at high risk of requiring support and long-term care caused by common age-related musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and sarcopenia. Accumulation of epidemiological evidence is required for the prevention strategy of the locomotive syndrome. Exercise intervention may be useful for the treatment of this condition.
