Changes in the locomotion system are mediated by the interplay between bone, muscle, and adipose tissues and accordingly the signaling molecules that they produce, such as adipokines, myokines, and osteokines. Sarcopenia in the elderly has now become a major focus of research and debate in healthcare due to its impact on morbidity, mortality, quality of life (QoL), and health care seeking. Hypertension and sarcopenia as a geriatric syndrome are often associated in the elderly. At the same time, the primary component in the pathophysiological gerontological continuum is hypertension, in which prerequisites are created for the development of dynapenic, and later sarcopenic processes, while osteopenic processes are observed in parallel. This pathophysiological gerontological continuum is embodied in the assessment of QoL in these patients.
