Comparison between studies and estimation of effect sizes were limited due to the heterogeneity in methods. Although sex and age may be the main drivers of HGS decline, it is crucial to prioritize modifiable factors such as inflammation and cardiovascular diseases in health interventions to prevent greater losses. Interventions to improve birth weight and mental health are also likely to produce positive effects on muscle strength. Our results point to the complexity of processes involving muscle strength and suggest that the need to better understand the determinants of HGS remains.
