Association of sarcopenia, ambient air pollution and cognitive function in a community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly Korean population: a community-based cohort study
In this community-based observational cohort study of KoGES participants aged 50 years and older, sarcopenia was associated with decreased cognitive function. However, medium-term to long-term exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> or PM<sub>10</sub> was not associated with sarcopenia and did not modify the relationship between sarcopenia and cognitive function.
