Description
An editorial by Xiwei Fan, Yuangang Wu, and Antonia Rujia Sun opens a research collection on how diet and sleep shape the health of bones, muscles, and joints. The editors argue that these tissues suffer together, not one disease at a time. Circadian disruption from shift work, short sleep, and late eating can disturb clock genes, hormones, and inflammation, weakening bone and muscle alike.
Other papers in the collection link food quality to frozen shoulder pain and knee arthritis symptoms. One large cohort study found that both low and high dietary inflammation tracked with fractures that fail to heal. The shared message favors timing, context, and balance over blunt diet rules.
