Journal of Cachexia Sarcopenia and Muscle

Recent evidence from cross-sectional and longitudinal studies supports the hypothesis that sarcopenia is associated with worsening cognitive function. However, primary evidence largely comes from high-income countries, whereas in low- and middle-income countries, this association has been underexplored. This study aimed to estimate the longitudinal association between sarcopenia and mild cognitive impairment in a sample of older Mexican adults.
