Abstract: BACKGROUND.The prevention of many socially significant diseases (osteoporosis, non-communicable diseases) consists in identifying risk factors and early diagnosis of conditions preceding the development of these diseases, that is, the stage of "pre-disease." Therefore, studying the frequency of such geriatric syndromes as osteopenia, sarcopenia, visceral obesity (predictors of osteoporosis,hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus) seems to be an urgent task, especially among pre- and postmenopausal women, contributing to a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and a change in body composition (BC) accumulation of fat and loss of muscle mass (MM).
