High grip strength is a strong proxy for overall body strength and is associated with a significantly reduced risk of all-cause dementia incidence and mortality.

“the the exact way that looks the exact number of tombstones say or how those tombstones look or you know what else is going on is probably an expression of things like you know genetics and other factors which then explain some of that some of that variability but that's kind of yes it's maybe the the final common pathway but everything that's important is happening Upstream of that before we leave dementia I'd like to talk a little bit about one of the strongest associations I've ever seen with mitigating risk which is strength”

“when you compare the top 10 or so of people from a strength perspective to the bottom ten percent it's about a seventy seven zero percent reduction in both incidence and mortality associated with all-cause dementia”

“strong grip versus weak grip monotonic change in grip strength 70 reduction in incidents and mortality from dementia”

“when you compare the top 10% or so of people from a strength perspective to the bottom 10% it's about a 70 70% reduction in both incident and mortality associated with all cause dementia”
