  1. Muscle weakness is associated with functional limitations in humans (OR 2.47, 95% CI 1.14-5.35).

    “those with weakness alone, and both weakness and HGS asymmetry had 2.47 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-5.35) and 3.93 (CI: 1.18-13.07) greater odds for functional limitations, respectively.”
