All participants underwent clinical evaluations, including volumetric brain magnetic resonance imaging and neuropsychological testing with the Korean version of CERAD Packet. WMH volume was calculated using automated segmentation analysis from 3D MRI images. Gait speed was measured using a timed 4-meter walk. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) was measured using the bioelectrical impedance analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that slower gait speed (OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.95\u20130.998), lower ASM index (ASMI) (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.26\u20130.93), and greater WMH volume (OR\u202f=\u202f1.07; 95% CI: 1.01\u20131.14) were significantly associated with AD. Significant negative correlations were observed between gait speed and WMH volume (\u03b2\u202f=\u202f\u22120.32, p\u202f&lt;\u202f0.001), and between ASMI and WMH volume (\u03b2\u202f=\u202f\u22120.20, p\u202f=\u202f0.022). Path analysis provided further clarification of the interrelationships, revealing that gait speed and ASMI emerged as significant mediators through their combined indirect effect (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.20, 95% CI: 0.13\u20130.28) within the WMH-AD pathway.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings demonstrate that both gait speed and muscle mass play crucial roles as dual mediators, negatively influencing the pathway connecting WMH to AD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/13872877251362424","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,30]],"date-time":"2025-07-30T07:01:41Z","timestamp":1753858901000},"page":"789-797","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Gait speed and muscle mass as dual mediators in the link between white matter hyperintensities and Alzheimer's disease"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"107","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4925-5058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jongbin","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Jeju National University Hospital, Jeju, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8175-6122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyun Ju","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Jeju National University Hospital, Jeju, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Jeju National University School of Medicine, Jeju, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2892-6392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suyeon","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Jeju National University Hospital, Jeju, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8148-9041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bong Soo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Jeju National University Hospital, Jeju, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Jeju National University School of Medicine, Jeju, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0396-5284","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joon Hyuk","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Jeju National University Hospital, Jeju, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Jeju National University School of Medicine, Jeju, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13024-019-0333-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.24647"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/alz.13057"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.c3666"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneurol.2015.10"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/alz.14056"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2022.14647"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/gerona\/gly140"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","first-page":"97","article-title":"White matter hyperintensities are associated with slower gait speed in older adults without dementia","volume":"24","author":"Vazquez JP","year":"2024","unstructured":"Vazquez JP, Verghese J, Barzilai N, et al.
