Alzheimer’s blood biomarkers predict faster muscle strength loss in older adults

A large Swedish cohort study found that elevated blood biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s disease—including p-tau217, p-tau181, neurofilament light chain, and GFAP—predict accelerated muscle strength decline over 12 years in dementia-free older adults. These findings suggest that early identification of Alzheimer’s-related biomarkers could help clinicians intervene sooner to prevent sarcopenia and related adverse outcomes in aging populations.
