Sarcopenia is associated with incident Alzheimer's dementia, m <scp>ild cognitive impairment,</scp> and cognitive decline

Abstract

Poor muscle function, but not reduced lean muscle mass, drives the association of sarcopenia with late-life cognitive impairment. Further work is needed to identify features of muscle structure, which may increase the specificity of sarcopenia for identifying older adults at risk for late-life cognitive impairment.
