• Impact of lifespan extending treatments on age-related disease is not
well known.
• Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent age-related diseases.
• Decline in skeletal muscle mitochondrial function is associated with
OA severity.
• Dietary rapamycin impaired muscle mitochondrial function in model of

greater OA severity.
