From: Nutrition mediates the relationship between number of teeth and sarcopenia: a pathway analysis
Path analysis of the nutrition’s mediation effects using the structural equation model (SEM) framework. SEM pathway analysis showed that the correlation between number of teeth and sarcopenia was negative (SEM co-efficient: − 0.18). The correlation between number of teeth and MNA-SF score was positive (SEM co-efficient: 0.11). The correlation between MNA-SF score and sarcopenia was negative (SEM coefficient: − 0.28)
