Abstract：Comorbidity in the elderly is one of the global research hotspots at present.Respiratory sarcopenia comorbid with lung cancer in the elderly seriously impairs the therapeutic efficacy and tolerance of patients,exacerbates their quality of life and functional status,and even directly increases the risk of death.The demand for long-term medical and nursing management brings enormous pressure to the medical system.At present,the pathogenesis of the comorbidity of these two diseases remains unclear.This article introduces the epidemiological status of respiratory sarcopenia comorbid with lung cancer in the elderly,analyzes the pathogenesis of lung cancer complicated with respiratory sarcopenia and the common risk factors of the two diseases,and summarizes the intervention measures to improve respiratory muscle strength and increase muscle mass.It is expected to provide a reference for medical staff in the research and management of respiratory sarcopenia comorbid with lung cancer in the elderly,thereby improving the prognosis and optimizing the quality of life of elderly patients with lung cancer.
