Association between simple test assessing hand dexterity and mild cognitive impairment in independent older adults

This study aimed to clarify the association between hand function, including grip strength and hand dexterity, assessed using snap fasteners, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults with normal global cognitive function.
