Sarcopenia and cognitive performance in hospitalized older adults: evidence of an association
Sarcopenia, even at early stages, is associated with reduced global cognitive performance and specific impairments in orientation, attention/calculation, and language in hospitalized elderly individuals. These findings underscore the importance of early screening and targeted interventions to preserve both muscle and cognitive health, reinforcing the need for integrated care strategies in hospital settings.
