Abstract

Age-related changes in the musculoskeletal system represent a natural biological process that significantly affects functional mobility, physical performance, and susceptibility to injury. Structural and morphological alterations in bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissues progressively develop with aging and contribute to decreased strength, flexibility, and balance. This article aims to analyze the anatomical changes of the musculoskeletal system associated with aging and to evaluate their impact on functional mobility and injury risk. The findings highlight that understanding age-related anatomical transformations is essential for clinical assessment, prevention strategies, and effective management of musculoskeletal disorders in the elderly population.
