Trump Embarrasses All of America in Slurred, Disjointed Davos Speech<br /> by [[Malcolm Ferguson]] for The New Republic accessed on 2026-01-21T10:19:18

embarrassment is the word for this... he can't even distinguish Greenland and Iceland, one of which he wants to take over and which he's spoken about repeatedly in the past months.

• Study Overview: Analysis of ~6,000 adults aged 50+ from English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) over ~9 years found weaker muscles linked to higher dementia risk, published in Journal of Psychiatric Research.
• Measurements: Upper body via handgrip strength (dynamometer, adjusted for BMI/weight); lower body via chair stand test (5 rises without arms).
• Key Findings: Lowest grip strength group had 2.8x higher dementia risk (absolute) and >2x (BMI-adjusted); slowest chair stand had 2.75x higher risk; consistent across age, sex.
• Robustness: Sensitivity analysis excluding early dementia cases confirmed results; linear relationship between strength decline and risk increase.
• Possible Mechanisms: White matter hyperintensities, shared neural pathways, chronic inflammation affecting muscles and brain.
• Limitations: Observational (no causation), self-reported diagnoses, UK white population over 50, no dementia subtypes.
• Implications: Muscle strength tests for early dementia screening; potential for strength training interventions to support brain health.
