Time Under the Load:The critical relationship between muscle mass, cognition and all-cause mortality

Leave a comment
In this episode of the Health Edge, mark and John review two important studies. The first is a systematic review/meta analysis that clearly links loss of lean body mass (sarcopenia) with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease risk. The second paper reviews the underlying mechanisms that link lower muscle mass with greater risk of cognitive decline with aging. https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/13/755.info
