Sarcopenia-osteoporosis is an age-related syndrome caused by the coexistence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia, and it poses a serious threat to the health of the elderly population. The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signalling pathways, including extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38 MAPK and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), regulate the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of skeletal muscle and bone tissue, and play a significant role in the development and progression of sarcopenia-osteoporosis. In recent years, various traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constituents have demonstrated experimental value in modulating the MAPKs signalling pathway and influencing processes related to osteogenesis or muscle atrophy. This article reviews the regulatory effects of the MAPKs signalling pathway in osteogenesis and myogenesis, and summarises research progress on the use of various TCM monomers to intervene in sarcopenia-osteoporosis via this pathway, with the aim of providing new theoretical foundations and therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia-osteoporosis.
