This dataset contains the minimal anonymized data necessary to replicate the findings of the study titled "Metabolic Syndrome, Social Isolation, and Sarcopenia in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Multi-Faceted Analysis of Risk Factors and Mediating Pathways" (Manuscript ID: PONE-D-25-33355). The data were collected from a cohort of older adults in rural and urban settings, with variables spanning four critical domains:1. Demographics: Age, gender, residence type (rural/urban), marital status, education level2. Lifestyle Factors: Smoking history, alcohol consumption frequency3. Health Outcomes:- Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) status- Social isolation (binary) and social score (continuous)- Sarcopenia indicator (ASM, Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Index)4. Metabolic and Physiological Markers:- Metabolic syndrome components (METS-IR, VAI, AIP, nHDL)- Residual cholesterol, eGFR (kidney function)- Frailty index (continuous) and frailty status (binary)Key features:- Contains individual-level records with unique household identifiers- Supports analysis of mediation pathways between metabolic health, social factors, and sarcopenia in MCI- Variables are coded with clear value labels (e.g., 1="Married", 0="No" for smoking)- Curated for reproducibility of regression and mediation models in the associated manuscript<br>Format: CSV files.Ethics: Data are fully anonymized; no direct identifiers are present.Sample size:N=21,095participants.
