Background Age-related decline in muscle strength, dynapenia, is linked to serious adverse
health outcomes. Evidence on the determinants of muscle strength decline in the oldest old …

Background: cognitive decline and muscle weakness are prevalent health conditions in
elderly people. We hypothesised that cognitive decline precedes muscle weakness …

Background: muscle wasting is associated with a detrimental outcome in older people.
Muscle strength measurements could be useful as part of a clinical evaluation of oldest old …

Objectives To examine long‐term changes in handgrip strength and the factors predicting
handgrip strength decline. Design Longitudinal cohort study with 22 years of follow‐up …

Cognitive decline in older adults contributes to reduced ability to perform daily tasks and
continued disuse leads to muscle weakness and potentiates functional loss. Despite explicit …

Background. Cognitive decline and dementia are associated with disability and premature
death in old age. We examined whether low handgrip strength predicts subsequent …

Objective Handgrip strength, an indicator of overall muscle strength, has been found to be
associated with slower rate of cognitive decline and decreased risk for cognitive impairment …

Decreased muscle strength with aging is associated with functional disability in older adults.
However, few studies have longitudinally evaluated the rate of muscle strength loss and the …

ContextPoor muscle strength, functional limitations, and disability often coexist, but whether
muscle strength during midlife predicts old age functional ability is not known. ObjectiveTo …

Widely used in daily practice, handgrip strength (HGS) is a low cost, easy-to-use, and
portable test to assess overall muscle and physical function. It can be used as a stand-alone …
