ABSTRACT
@#Objective:
To explore the relationship between grips strength and cognitive function among stroke patients in China.Methods:
The data of 412 post-stroke participants from the baseline survey of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were selected. The association between grip strength and cognitive function was analyzed, especially in gender.Results:
Grip strength was positively associated with all cognitive measures. For every 5 kg increase in grip strength, the likelihood increased 30% in correctly drawing picture (95%CI 8%-57%, <italic>P</italic> = 0.005); and the scores increased 0.15 points in episodic memory (<italic>P</italic> = 0.003), 0.30 points in Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status (TICS-10) (<italic>P</italic> = 0.001), and 0.60 points (<italic>P</italic> < 0.001) in the overall cognition scores. The association between grip strength and cognitive measures was stronger among female patients, particularly for episodic memory (<italic>P</italic> = 0.049).Conclusion:
Grip strength was positively associated with cognitive function among stroke patients. The association was stronger among female patients.
