Temporal Muscle Thickness Predicts Mortality and Disability in Older Adults Diagnosed with Mild Dementia

Sarcopenia contributes to increased hospitalizations, cognitive impairment, falls, and all-cause mortality. Current diagnostic methods, like body Magnetic Resonance Imaging and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, are costly and impractical. Notably, there is no standardized approach for assessing sarc...

Sumario:Sarcopenia contributes to increased hospitalizations, cognitive impairment, falls, and all-cause mortality. Current diagnostic methods, like body Magnetic Resonance Imaging and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, are costly and impractical. Notably, there is no standardized approach for assessing sarcopenia in dementia clinics. We studied the association of temporal muscle thickness (TMT) with key prognostic factors in people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Lewy body dementia (DLB).
