Development of a prediction model for cognitive impairment of sarcopenia using multimodal neuroimaging in non-demented older adults.

We identified distinct impacts of three sarcopenia measures on brain structure and Aβ. Muscle mass is mainly associated with Aβ and has an influence on the brain atrophy. Muscle strength linked with periventricular WMH and brain atrophy. Muscle function associated with cortical thinning in specific brain regions. Interventions on sarcopenia may be important to ease cognitive decline in the elderly.
