Four key mechanisms that connect muscle deterioration to cognitive decline: systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, abnormal protein accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to inflammation. Adults who are less active have higher levels of inflammatory substances produced by fat tissues. These inflammatory markers increase the risk of dementia / neurodegeneration.
Skeletal muscle plays a crucial role in glucose storage and metabolism. As muscle mass declines, especially with age, the body’s ability to manage glucose decreases, leading to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance causes cognitive decline by affecting glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity in the brain.
