Description
Summary:Yiting Liu, Wen Peng Department of General Practice, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Wen Peng, Email pengwen666@sina.comAbstract: Low skeletal muscle mass is an important feature and foundation of sarcopenia, which can affect body function and increase the risk of falls and fractures in older adults, while being associated with multiple systemic diseases. Helicobacter pylori is a common gastrointestinal pathogen associated with various systemic gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal diseases. Although extensive studies have been conducted on each of these, the direct link between them has not been fully explored. Clarifying the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and low muscle mass is important for the prevention and management of these diseases.Keywords: inflammation, hormones, metabolism, nutrients, gastrointestinal microbiome
