研究将低肌肉质量、特别是下巴与老年痴呆症风险高60%联系起来。 Study links lower muscle mass, particularly in the jaw, to a 60% higher dementia risk in older adults.

约翰·霍普金斯大学的一项新研究将更小的肌肉质量,特别是下巴肌肉的肌肉质量与老年痴呆的高风险联系起来。 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. 研究人员发现,肌肉较弱者患痴呆症的可能性高60%。 Researchers found that those with less muscle were about 60% more likely to develop dementia. 虽然这项研究没有证明因果关系,但它表明,体重培训和饮食变化等干预措施可能有助于减缓肌肉丧失,并有可能减少痴呆症风险。 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.
