Correlation of muscle strength, information processing speed and cognitive function in the elderly with cognitive impairment——evidence from EEG by Xin Xin, Qing Liu, Shuqi Jia, Shufan Li, Peng Wang, Xingze Wang, Xing Wang

“…The EEG-specific indicators (B = 0.019, 95% CI: 0.003, 0.047) and information processing speed (B = 0.137, 95% CI: 0.096, 0.292) were found to partially mediate the relationship between grip strength and MoCA scores, with information processing speed exerting a stronger mediating effect.ConclusionSpecific patterns were observed in the EEG of elderly individuals with cognitive impairments, which could objectively assess the risk of cognitive decline in this population. Muscle strength, information processing speed, and EEG-specific biomarkers were closely associated with cognitive function in elderly individuals. …”
