Importance The associations between muscle strength and cognitive outcomes have
sparked interest in interventions that increase muscle strength for prevention of dementia …

Handgrip strength (HGS), a measure of muscular strength, might be a risk indicator for
cognitive functioning, but the evidence is not consistent. Using a new prospective study and …

Background: Measures of handgrip strength have not only emerged as a clinically viable
screening tool for determining risk for morbidity, functional disability, and early mortality, but …

Background This study aimed to investigate the associations of grip strength with incidence
and mortality from dementia and whether these associations differ by sociodemographic and …

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 …

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 …

Objectives A number of small‐scale, single‐country studies have suggested that muscular
weakness may be a biomarker for cognitive health, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and …

Background: Measures of handgrip strength may show promise for detecting cognitive
erosion during aging. Objective: To determine the associations between lower handgrip …

Background Loss of muscle strength is common and is associated with various adverse
health outcomes in old age, but few studies have examined the association of muscle …

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