Evidence on the longitudinal relationship between cognition and sarcopenia, according to the revised criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2), is scarce. This study aimed to investigate both cross\u2010sectional and longitudinal associations between sarcopenia and its defining parameters (muscle strength, muscle mass and physical performance) and cognitive performance in middle\u2010aged and older men.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This was a secondary analysis of data from the European Male Ageing Study (EMAS), a multicentre cohort study of men aged 40\u201379\u00a0years, recruited from population registers in eight European centres. Cognitive functioning was assessed by using a battery of three neuropsychological tests, measuring fluid intelligence: Rey\u2013Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF\u2010Copy and ROCF\u2010Recall), Camden Topographical Recognition Memory (CTRM) and Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). Sarcopenia\u2010defining parameters appendicular lean mass (aLM), gait speed (GS), chair stand test (CST) and handgrip strength (HGS) were measured. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the criteria of the EWGSOP2. All measurements were performed at baseline and after a follow\u2010up of 4.3\u00a0years. Cross\u2010sectional associations between cognition, sarcopenia\u2010defining parameters and prevalent sarcopenia (EWGSOP2) were analysed. Longitudinally, the predictive value of baseline cognition on decline in sarcopenia\u2010defining parameters, onset of new sarcopenia and vice versa was examined. Linear and logistic regression were used and adjusted for putative confounders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the whole cohort (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a03233), ROCF\u2010Copy (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.016; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05), ROCF\u2010Recall (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.010; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05), CTRM (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.015; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05), DSST score (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.032; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05) and fluid cognition (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.036; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05) were significantly and independently associated with GS at baseline.

The prevalence of sarcopenia in this population was 17.8%. No associations were detected between cognition and prevalent or incident sarcopenia.
