Absence of muscle weakness is associated with future cognitive impairment in humans (OR 0.54 (CI 0.43–0.69)).
“Those who were not weak had 0.54 (CI 0.43, 0.69) lower odds for future cognitive impairment”

Handgrip strength is associated with future cognitive impairment in humans (OR 0.97 (95% CI 0.93–0.99) per 5 kg higher strength).
“Every 5 kg higher handgrip strength was associated with 0.97 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.93, 0.99] lower odds for both future cognitive impairment and worse cognitive impairment.”
