Study links lower muscle mass, particularly in the jaw, to a 60% higher dementia risk in older adults.
A new study from Johns Hopkins University links smaller muscle mass, especially in the jaw muscle, to a higher risk of dementia in older adults.
Researchers found that those with less muscle were about 60% more likely to develop dementia.
While the study does not prove cause-and-effect, it suggests that interventions like weight training and dietary changes could help slow muscle loss and potentially reduce dementia risk.
