Research advances on the correlation between sarcopenia and cognitive impairment
Sarcopenia refers to the loss of muscle mass and decline in somatic function with increasing age.Cognitive impairment is defined as a diminished or impaired ability associated with memory,learning,orientation,comprehension and judgement.Sarcopenia and cognitive impairment are the two most common causes of disability in the aging population.Existing literature suggests a correlation between the two and the identification of common risk factors and potential mechanisms for sarcopenia and cognitive impairment can guide the development of targeted interventions to slow or reverse sarcopenia and some forms of cognitive decline.Although a large number of studies have been conducted to quantify the link between the two disorders,extensive systematic reviews remain limited.
