Description
Wen-Xuan Lei and co-authors review brain scans in people with weak muscles and weak thinking, in a 2026 article. Sarcopenia means steady loss of muscle strength, mass, and function with age. Mild cognitive impairment means a clear drop in thinking that still leaves daily life mostly intact. Both grow more common as people age.
The review gathers scan findings that link the two states. It centers on the muscle-brain axis, the idea that muscle and brain affect each other. Magnetic resonance imaging and PET scans get the most attention. The authors weigh how scan markers could help doctors spot risk and track change.
