However, this new study could not demonstrate an association between muscle
strength and cognitive function when using a model based
on mere

«The findings suggest that it may be justified to go beyond the
handgrip and to include the upper and lower body when measuring muscle
strength, as this may better reflect the association between muscle

on the topic for the University of Eastern Finland.
The paper, «Association of walking pace and
