Skeletal aging refers to the gradual structural and functional degeneration of bone and joint tissues with age, which is mainly manifested by the depletion of skeletal system-related stem cells, loss of bone mass, alteration of bone microarchitecture, reduction of bone strength, degeneration of cartilage, and sclerosis of subchondral bone [3][4][5]. ...
