Why the study?
The study aimed to explore the relationship between relative grip strength and the development of arterial stiffness.
Does higher relative grip strength prevent incident arterial stiffness in middle-aged and older adults?
Does higher relative grip strength prevent incident arterial stiffness in middle-aged and older adults?
Higher relative grip strength is independently associated with a lower risk of developing arterial stiffness in middle-aged and older adults, suggesting it could be a useful screening tool for vascular aging.
Higher relative grip strength was associated with lower arterial stiffness incidence; leaves open whether interventions targeting grip strength alter stiffness risk.
The study aimed to explore the relationship between relative grip strength and the development of arterial stiffness. The final analysis included 6, 033 people aged 45 years or older who had participated in both the 2011 and 2015 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study surveys. The grip meter was used to measure grip strength, and relative grip strength was determined by dividing grip strength by body mass index.
