Mediation effects of nutrition in the relationship between number of teeth with sarcopenia and the three diagnostic components of sarcopenia (gait speed, grip strength, SMI) in an unadjusted model. Nutrition revealed significant relative indirect effects for number of teeth and sarcopenia (ACME = − 0.0272). Nutrition also revealed significant relative indirect effects for SMI (indirect effect estimate = − 0.0283) and grip strength (indirect effect estimate = − 0.0067)
