Key Points

The study aims to explore the relationship between sarcopenia and cognitive functions in older adults.
Participants included 55 older adults with an average age of 73.34
Cognitive functions were measured using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
Sarcopenia risk was assessed using the Sarcopenia Screening Questionnaire (SARC-F) and mobility tested via TUG and Four-Meter Walk Tests.
56.4% of participants exhibited cognitive impairment while 52.7% were at risk of sarcopenia.
Significant correlation was found between MMSE scores and SARC-F (r=-0.741).
Strong correlations were also noted between MMSE scores and grip strength (dominant r=0.577, non-dominant r=0.549) and mobility tests (TUG r=-0.714, Four-Meter Walk Test r=-0.752).
