Muscle Mitochondrial Oxidative Capacity and Cognitive Decline Over up to a Decade: Sex Differences.

For clinicians focused on aging and cognitive performance, these findings suggest that mitochondrial assessments could help stratify cognitive risk in older men, while highlighting distinct biological pathways that may inform targeted interventions.
