Abstract

Sarcopenia and cognitive impairment are common age-related conditions that severely affect older adults' quality of life. Diet quality, a modifiable factor, has been associated with muscle health and cognitive function, suggesting a potential interaction between sarcopenia, diet, and cognition. However, this relationship remains underexplored.
