Muscle, bone, and fat all influence cognition.
Having A Poor Body Composition May Expedite Cognitive Decline Oftentimes, the conversation around body fat focuses on dieting and weight loss, with little nuance given to different kinds of weight. Is it from lean mass like your muscles? Or from fat mass? This is where body composition comes into play. Because research shows that low levels of lean mean mass—even in the absence of high fat levels—pose health risks and may influence cognitive decline.
However, individual studies may define high levels of body fat differently. Low levels of lean body mass impair cognition The loss of muscle mass—known as sarcopenia—is also linked to a loss of gray matter volume and an increased risk of cognitive impairment. A 2022 study published in JAMA Network Open was one of the first to pinpoint a link between low muscle mass and faster executive function decline in older adults.
