Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies are already used for many different clinical indications. Besides oncology and rheumatology, denosumab is the only antibody that is currently prescribed in older adults with osteoporosis; however, apart from osteoporosis there might be more possible indications for the use of antibodies in chronic diseases and geriatric syndromes. Particularly, with respect to sarcopenia the transition to "doping for older adults" seems to be fluent. The present review provides an overview on the newest developments and prospective options.Entities:
