  1. Absence of muscle weakness is associated with worse cognitive impairment in humans (OR 0.57 (CI 0.46–0.72)).

    “and 0.57 (CI 0.46, 0.72) lower odds for future worse cognitive impairment.”

  1. Handgrip strength is associated with worse 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.”
