Lung function as a mediator: bridging appendicular skeletal muscle mass and dementia in middle-aged and older Chinese adults
Higher ASM and better LF are independently linked to lower dementia risk, with LF partially mediating the ASM-dementia association. These results suggest that preserving muscle mass and LF may help prevent dementia in middle-aged and older adults.
