Abstract
Epidemiological studies demonstrate the high prevalence of osteoarthritis in the population. Thus, the frequency of OA of large (supporting) joints in people older than 65 years varies from 19.2 to 50%. The leading role in maintaining the stability of the joints belongs to the muscles that hold them in a physiological position and provide, together with the ligaments and capsule, full functioning. Degenerative changes in muscle fibers associated with aging underlie the development of sarcopenia.
