Muscle quality and blood markers linked to dementia after stroke

In 7,047 UK stroke survivors, lower muscle quality and higher blood metabolite risk scores were linked to higher risks of all-cause, Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.In 7,047 UK stroke survivors, lower muscle quality and higher blood metabolite risk scores were linked to higher risks of all-cause, Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.

Limit: Stroke severity and rehabilitation plans were unmeasured and could confound the dementia association

Grip strength adds no clear value to midlife risk assessment

Adding grip strength changed scores for separating risk groups by minus 0.0046 and 0.0045 versus models including detailed body fat and muscle measurements.Adding grip strength changed scores for separating risk groups by minus 0.0046 and 0.0045 versus models including detailed body fat and muscle measurements.
