RESUMEN
La sarcopenia es una enfermedad caracterizada por la pérdida de masa muscular, fuerza muscular y rendimiento físico, siendo la principal causa de fragilidad en los adultos mayores. La sarcopenia es altamente prevalente en individuos con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) que conduce a un mal pronóstico y una mayor mortalidad en esta población. La presencia de sarcopenia en la EPOC es probablemente el resultado de la interacción entre factores externos e internos como la inflamación sistémica, el estrés oxidativo y los polimorfismos genéticos, frecuentemente observados en individuos con esta enfermedad respiratoria. Esta revisión resume el conocimiento sobre los mecanismos patogénicos asociados con la sarcopenia en la EPOC.
ABSTRACT
Sarcopenia is a disease characterized by loss of skeletal muscle, muscle strength and physical performance, being the major cause of frailty in the elderly. The sarcopenia is highly prevalent in individuals with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) leading to a poor prognosis and higher mortality in this population. The presence of sarcopenia in COPD is likely the result by the interaction between external and internal factors as systemic inflammation, oxidative stress and genetic polymorphisms, frequently observed in individuals with this respiratory disease. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the pathogenic mechanisms linking COPD with sarcopenia.
