Muscle Quality Linked to Cognitive Health in Middle Age

A Hidden Pattern in Your Pulse Could Signal Future Cognitive Decline

Slight variations in a person's pulse rate could give clues about the likelihood of future cognitive decline, according to a new study, potentially giving us a valuable new test for cognitive problems that would be quick and easy to run. This is something that researchers invest a lot of time in, because knowing when cognitive decline might start, and how it may progress, means better support and more clarity for those involved. Along the wa…

Muscle quality linked to cognitive health in middle age

Over the past decade, much research has focused on the connection between skeletal muscle health and cognitive disorders.

In laboratory studies, scientists from the National University of La Plata (UNLP) discovered the close relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and Osteoporosis, determining that memory impairment has a negative impact on bones. Under the direction of Juan Fernández of the Osteopathy and Mineral Metabolism Research Laboratory (LIOMM, Faculty of Exact Sciences UNLP–CICPBA) and Gustavo Morel of the Instituto de Investigaciones Bioquímicas de La Pl…

Muscle Quality May Hold Clues to Early Cognitive Decline

Muscle Quality: A Potential Early Indicator of Cognitive Decline

Recent research from Japan has unveiled a promising breakthrough in the early detection of cognitive decline through a novel marker rooted in muscle health measurements. This study, conducted by a team led by Postdoctoral Researcher Kentaro Ikeue at Doshisha University, investigates the intricate relationship between skeletal muscle quality and cognitive function in adults over 40. Their findings, published in the prestigious Journal of Cachexia…
