To investigate whether temporal muscle thickness (TMT) can serve as a predictor of change in nutritional widely used biomarkers in patients at risk of dementia.
Longitudinal observational study.
Secondary analysis from a 24-week study conducted across three centers in Norway between 2018 and 2020.
Patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or with two cardiometabolic disorders were included ( = 165).
Baseline and longitudinal statistical analysis were carried out to establish the association for outcomes (albumin, weight, C-Reactive Protein and Episodic Memory Quality) with TMT.
At baseline, there was a positive association between TMT and weight (Estimate=1.5157, = 0.009). At follow-up, positive associations were observed between TMT and albumin levels (Estimate=0.3031, = 0.048), as well as TMT and weight (Estimate=1.8954, = 0.001).
TMT is a possible accessible tool in clinical practice for monitoring health variables beyond cognitive decline in patients at risk of dementia.
研究颞肌厚度(TMT)是否可作为痴呆风险患者营养广泛使用生物标志物变化的预测指标。
纵向观察性研究。
对2018年至2020年在挪威三个中心进行的一项为期24周的研究进行二次分析。
纳入轻度认知障碍(MCI)患者或患有两种心脏代谢疾病的患者(n = 165)。
进行基线和纵向统计分析,以确定结局指标(白蛋白、体重、C反应蛋白和情景记忆质量)与TMT之间的关联。
在基线时,TMT与体重之间存在正相关(估计值 = 1.5157,P = 0.009)。在随访时,观察到TMT与白蛋白水平之间存在正相关(估计值 = 0.3031,P = 0.048),以及TMT与体重之间存在正相关(估计值 = 1.8954,P = 0.001)。
TMT可能是临床实践中一种可获取的工具,用于监测痴呆风险患者认知功能衰退以外的健康变量。
