Japan is known as a super-aged society, with an elderly population ratio of 26.7%, and the average life expectancy reached 80.75 years for men and 86.99 years for women in 2015 . Under these circumstances, the burden of benefits of social security, such as medical service and long-term care insurance, is increasing. Therefore, it is vitally important to the national interest for individuals to maintain good health and avoid disability in their old age. According to the annual report of the Cabinet Office, frailty and osteoarthropathy, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and fracture, are major causes of disability, especially for elderly women. Thus, there is no doubt that maintaining one’s locomotive organ function is a pivotal strategy for ensuring autonomy in old age. Aging is a dominant risk factor for a deteriorated locomotive function. The loss of muscle mass and function that emerges during the aging process is known as sarcopenia, and gaining fat mass leads to obesity. The accumulation of ectopic fat, such as in visceral fat tissue, is a particularly distinctive feature of the elderly. Recently, the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, a condition known as sarcopenic obesity (SO), has received focus among researchers because of its strong impact on not only the functional decline but also the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders , and mortality. Osteopenia is another body compositional change that occurs with age. The peak bone mass has generally been developed by one’s 20s and is maintained until one’s 40s, after which it gradually declines. Menopause causes a steep decline in the bone mineral density (BMD), so postmenopausal women are more vulnerable than premenopausal women and men to developing osteoporosis. A recent population-based epidemiological study for bone and joint diseases among the Japanese revealed that the prevalence of osteoporosis among Japanese adults ≥40 of age ORIGINAL ARTICLES
