This research aims to examine the relationship between muscular strength and mortality rates in men, focusing on all causes and cancer-related deaths.
Prospective cohort study design
Adjusted for cardiorespiratory fitness and other potential confounders
Population consisting of men
Increased muscular strength correlates with lower mortality from all causes and cancer.
Findings remain significant even after adjustments for confounders.
Abstract
Muscular strength is inversely and independently associated with death from all causes and cancer in men, even after adjusting for cardiorespiratory fitness and other potential confounders.
