Nutritional status was significantly negatively correlated with sarcopenia. Resilience was significantly positively correlated with social support but negatively correlated with sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was significantly positively correlated with cognitive frailty. Social support was significantly negatively correlated with cognitive frailty. Despite these associations, in this model, only one specific serial indirect pathway\u2014via resilience and social support\u2014demonstrated a statistically significant mediating effect between olfactory function and cognitive frailty.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings suggest that the association between olfactory function and cognitive frailty may involve a limited, pathway\u2010specific serial mediation through resilience and social support.
