Absolute and relative handgrip strength as indicators of cognitive impairment: Evidence from the Mexican cognitive aging study

Due to its low cost, accessibility, and reproducibility, HGS may represent a practical biomarker for the early detection and tracking of cognitive decline, particularly in low-resource settings.
