Null bivariate correlation results (Table 2) of the cross-sectional study. The article separately notes hand grip strength was significantly and negatively related to size, weight and % fat mass, but not to any component of creative thinking; no effect sizes are printed for the creativity nulls.

"Regarding age, anthropometric variables, body composition and hand grip strength, we can affirm that no correlations were found with cognitive variables."
