Abstract
- Quality of life (QOL) was assessed using the EQ-5D twice in 1 year in 57 older community-dwelling people (age 79.1±5.9 years) with mild cognitive impairment in a memory clinic. Screening for sarcopenia at the initial assessment revealed 40.1% of participants (23/57) were sarcopenic. QOL declined in 33.3% of participants (19/57) after around 1 year. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that sarcopenia was associated with a decline in QOL around 1 year after initial assessment. Sarcopenia may be a risk factor for decline in QOL in older people with mild cognitive impairment.
