The interaction among bone, muscle, and their shared pathophysiology is driven by mechanical, metabolic, and hormonal factors. With global population aging and increasing healthcare demands, early detection of osteosarcopenia has become essential.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This narrative review summarizes current evidence on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical findings, diagnosis, and treatment of osteosarcopenia, based on international consensus guidelines, large\u2010scale population cohorts, interventional studies, and translational research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The occurrence of osteosarcopenia reflects the combined impact of low bone mineral density (BMD), loss of muscle mass and strength, and age\u2010related metabolic changes such as chronic inflammation, lipotoxicity, and disruptions in tryptophan (TRP) metabolism. Diagnostic evaluation requires combining bone assessment through Dual\u2010energy X\u2010ray Absorptiometry with functional and structural evaluations of sarcopenia, using criteria established by the European and global consensus on Sarcopenia. Management includes established pharmacological therapies for osteoporosis, while for sarcopenia, to date, it is mainly based on resistance exercise and adequate protein intake. Supplementation with protein, leucine, vitamin D, calcium, and creatine may further enhance outcomes. Promising emerging strategies include hormonal modulators, anti\u2010inflammatory agents, metabolic pathway\u2013oriented therapies, and cell\u2010based interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Osteosarcopenia significantly raises the risk of falls, fractures, disability, and death.
