Association between change in handgrip strength and cognitive function in Korean adults: a longitudinal panel study

Table 5 Results of the GEE analysis of handgrip strength asymmetry change and Mini-Mental State Examination scores

Handgrip strength asymmetry change (kg)
Same or Increased	Ref.		Ref.
Decreased	−0.1476	(− 0.2485 -0.0466)	−0.1755	(− 0.2822 -0.0688)

*All variables in Table 2 were included in the GEE model. Handgrip strength asymmetry was calculated by subtracting lower handgrip strength from higher handgrip strength. The change of handgrip strength asymmetry between 2 years were grouped into Same/Increased and Decreased
