Objective To systematically review the prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients with sarcopenia. Methods The PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect studies related to the objectives from inception to December 10, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using Stata 14.0 software. Results A total of 27 studies were included. The overall prevalence rate of cognitive impairment in sarcopenia was 36.1% (95%CI 29.4% to 42.8%). Subgroup analysis showed that the prevalence in Europe was higher than that in other areas. The prevalence of nursing home residents was highest. Conclusion Current evidence shows that the prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients with sarcopenia is high. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
