Differences in cognitive score were large for sarcopenia, but not for obesity.
Addressing sarcopenia may be crucial for maintaining cognitive function in this population.

- A gradual decrease in total body fat and no decrease in appendicular lean mass (ALM) are significantly independently associated with higher cognitive scores compared with other trajectories.Strong
- Weight loss approaches that preserve ALM and function may lead to reduced cognitive decline compared with weight loss alone.Strong
