a positive trendp = 0.088so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

When the slope ratio was substituted with estimated maximal evoked force, regression analysis revealed a positive trend with MoCA scores (p = 0.088), supporting the hypothesis that greater force-generating capacity may be indicative of more preserved cognitive function.
