Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the association of grip strength with disease specific incidence and mortality and whether grip strength enhances the prediction ability of an established office based risk score.502,293 participants (54% women) aged 40-69 years from the UK Biobank participants were included in this study.
Higher grip strength was associated with a range of health outcomes and improved prediction of an office based risk score. Further work on the use of grip strength in risk scores or risk screening is needed to establish its potential clinical utility.
