Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between absolute grip strength (AGS), relative grip strength (RGS) levels, and the risk of developing diabetes in middle-aged adults, utilizing longitudinal data. Methods: A total of 1935 participants, 51-81 years of age, were engaged in surveys both in 2017-2018 and during the subsequent follow-up survey in 2019-2020. Diabetes diagnosis and treatment were the criteria for categorizing individuals as "diabetic." Grip strength was measured using the JAMA-5030J1 equipment (SAEHAN, Korea), and AGS and RGS were also categorized into tertiles by gender. A proportional hazards Cox regression model was used to evaluate the relationship among AGS, RGS, and the risk of developing diabetes. Subsequently, we computed the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for the risk of developing diabetes. Results: After adjusting for various confounding variables, a significant reduction in diabetes risk was observed in the high grip strength group, adjusted for body mass index (RGS1) and body weight (RGS2), compared with the low RGS1 and RGS2 groups (RGS1 HR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.36-0.80; RGS2 HR = 0.50, 95% CI = 0.34-0.73). However, there were no significant associations between AGS and diabetes risk. Furthermore, significant differences in the relationship among AGS, RGS levels, and the risk of developing diabetes were found across gender and insulin resistance levels. Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of RGS levels in predicting the incidence of diabetes, with AGS, RGS1, and RGS2 emerging as significant predictive indicators for assessing diabetes risk.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations of (1) individual absolute and body size normalized weakness cut-points, and (2) the collective weakness classifications on time to diabetes in Americans. Methods We analyzed data from 9577 adults aged at least 50-years from the Health and Retirement Study. Diabetes diagnosis was self-reported. A handgrip dynamometer measured handgrip strength (HGS). Males with HGS <35.5 kg (absolute), <0.45 kg/kg (normalized to body weight), or <1.05 kg/kg/m2 (normalized to BMI) were categorized as weak. Females were classified as weak if their HGS was <20.0 kg, <0.337 kg/kg, or <0.79 kg/kg/m2. Compounding weakness included falling below 1, 2, or all 3 cut-points. Results Persons below the body weight normalized weakness cut-points had a 1.29 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15-1.47) higher hazard for incident diabetes, while those below the BMI normalized cut-points had a 1.30 (CI: 1.13-1.51) higher hazard. The association between absolute weakness and incident diabetes was insignificant (hazard ratio: 1.06; CI: 0.91-1.24). Americans below 1, 2, or all 3 collective weakness categories had a 1.28 (CI: 1.10-1.50), 1.29 (CI: 1.08-1.52), and 1.33 (CI: 1.09-1.63) higher hazard for the incidence of diabetes, respectively. Conclusions Our findings indicate that while absolute weakness, which is confounded by body size, was not associated with time to diabetes, adjusting for the influence of body size by normalizing HGS to body weight and BMI was significantly associated with time to diabetes. This suggests that muscle strength, not body size, may be driving such associations with time to diabetes.

Performance of different machine learning algorithms in identifying undiagnosed diabetes based on nonlaboratory parameters and the influence of muscle strength: A cross-sectional study. J Diabetes Investig 2024; 15:743-750. [PMID: 38439210 PMCID: PMC11143412 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.14166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Machine learning algorithms based on the artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine, naive Bayesian or logistic regression model are commonly used to identify diabetes. This study investigated which approach performed the best and whether muscle strength provided any incremental benefit in identifying undiagnosed diabetes in Chinese adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled 4,482 eligible participants from eight provinces in China, who were randomly divided into the training dataset (n = 3,586) and the testing dataset (n = 896). Muscle strength was assessed by handgrip strength and the number of chair stands in the 30-s chair stand test. An oral glucose tolerance test was used to ascertain undiagnosed diabetes. The areas under the curve (AUCs) were calculated accordingly and compared with each other. RESULTS Of the included participants, 233 had newly diagnosed diabetes. All the four machine learning algorithms, which were developed based on nonlaboratory parameters, showed acceptable discriminative ability in identifying undiagnosed diabetes (all AUCs >0.70), with the ANN approach performing the best (AUC 0.806). Adding handgrip strength or the 30-s chair stand test to this approach did not increase the AUC further (P = 0.39 and 0.26, respectively). Furthermore, compared with the New Chinese Diabetes Risk Score, the ANN approach showed a larger AUC in identifying undiagnosed diabetes (Pcomparison < 0.01), regardless of the addition of handgrip strength or the 30-s chair stand test. CONCLUSIONS The ANN approach performed the best in identifying undiagnosed diabetes in Chinese adults; however, the addition of muscle strength might not improve its efficacy.

J Am Med Dir Assoc 2023; 24:1936-1941.e2. [PMID: 37634549 PMCID: PMC10840802 DOI: 10.1016/j.jamda.2023.07.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES New absolute and normalized handgrip strength (HGS) cut-points may not yield similar predictive value for cognitive performance. We sought to determine the associations of (1) each absolute and normalized weakness cut-point, and (2) compounding weakness on future cognitive impairment in older Americans. DESIGN Longitudinal panel. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The analytic sample included 11,116 participants aged ≥65 years from the 2006 to 2018 waves of the Health and Retirement Study. Participants from the Health and Retirement Study completed detailed interviews that included physical measures and core interviews. METHODS The modified Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status assessed cognitive function and persons scoring <11 were classified as having a cognitive impairment. A handgrip dynamometer measured HGS. Men were considered weak if their HGS was <35.5 kg (absolute), <0.45 kg/kg (body mass normalized), or <1.05 kg (body mass index normalized), whereas women were classified as weak if their HGS was <20.0 kg, <0.337 kg/kg, or <0.79 kg. Compounding weakness included those below 1, 2, or all 3 cut-points. Generalized estimating equations quantified the associations. RESULTS Persons considered weak under the absolute cut-point had 1.62 (95% CI 1.34-1.96) greater odds for future cognitive impairment, but no significant associations were observed for those classified as weak under the body mass [odds ratio (OR) 1.12, CI 0.91-1.36] and body mass index normalized (OR 1.17, CI 0.95-1.43) cut-points. Older Americans below all 3 weakness cut-points had 1.47 (CI 1.15-1.88) greater odds for future cognitive impairment, but no significant associations were found for persons classified as weak under 1 (OR 1.08, CI 0.83-1.42) or 2 (OR 1.19, CI 0.91-1.55) cut-points. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Our findings suggest that each weakness cut-point has differential prognostic value for future cognitive impairment, and aggregating weakness cut-points may improve their predictive utility. Consideration should be given to how weakness categories are uniquely linked to cognitive function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although the physiological mechanisms are not fully understood, race/ethnicity differences vary across cardiometabolic disease risk factors. Resistance training (RT) is an effective therapy for improving these risk factors in addition to body composition and physical performance. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of RT over time on different racial and ethnic populations across cardiometabolic, body composition, and physical performance outcomes. DESIGN Electronic databases Scopus and PubMed were searched for studies that compared different racial/ethnic responses to RT across cardiometabolic, body composition, and physical performance parameters. Inclusion criteria for the studies were as follows: (1) published in the English language; (2) compared races or ethnicities across cardiometabolic risk factors, body composition, or physical performance variables following a RT intervention; (3) included adults 18 years or older, and (4) included an isolated RT intervention group. RESULTS Nine studies were found that met the inclusion criteria. The identified studies involved cohorts of White American (WA), South Asian, European Chilean, Mapuche Chilean, White Scottish, and African American (AA) males and females. Race/ethnicity differences following a RT intervention were found for fat-free mass preservation and changes in blood pressure, endothelial function, brachial artery stiffness, cardiac autonomic function, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, insulin sensitivity, body mass index, waist circumference, % body fat, and muscular strength. With the exception of changes in systolic blood pressure and brachial artery stiffness, AAs consistently showed more beneficial adaptations compared to WAs to RT across studies. CONCLUSION Race and ethnicity play a role in how adults adapt to chronic RT. These data may aid in better understanding the social, biological, and environmental factors that likely influenced these racial/ethnic differences in response to RT, assist in creating tailored exercise prescriptions for various racial/ethnic populations, and inform policies for determining resource allocations to address health inequities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is well known that muscular fitness has been associated with hypertension. However, it is less known which cut-off values of muscular fitness may predict the presence of hypertension. The main purpose of this study was to establish criterion-referenced standards of muscular fitness to define the presence of hypertension in Croatian older adults. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we recruited men and women over 60 years of age. Muscular fitness was assessed by handgrip strength and normalized by height squared. Hypertension was defined as having systolic blood pressure ≥130 mm/Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥80 mm/Hg. RESULTS In older men, the optimal cut-point of muscular fitness in defining hypertension was 15.4 kg/m2. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.85 (96% CI 0.77 to 0.92, p < 0.001). In older women, the optimal cut-point was 11.8 kg/m2, with an AUC of 0.84 (95% CI 0.80 to 0.89, p < 0.001). Men and women with cut-points of < 15.4 kg/m2 and < 11.8 kg/m2 were 11.8 (OR = 11.8, 95% CI 4.3 to 32.4, p < 0.001) and 10.6 (OR = 10.6, 95% CI 5.7 to 19.7, p < 0.001) times more likely to be diagnosed with hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Our newly developed cut-points of muscular fitness assessed by the handgrip strength and normalized by height squared have satisfactory predictive validity properties in detecting men and women aged 60-81 years with hypertension.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to test the hypothesis that patients with malnutrition and impaired muscle function determined by hand grip strength (HGS) will have adverse outcomes. Approach: We conducted a prospective observational study of 77 patients admitted for ischemic diabetic foot ulcers (IDFU). Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria were used to diagnose malnutrition. Values obtained with a dynamometer were dichotomized into values < and ≥ mean according to the values obtained in both sexes. The Cox proportional hazards model and the Kaplan-Meier method were applied. STROBE guidelines for cohorts were met in the present study. Results: In total, 55 patients (71.4%) were malnourished. Malnutrition according to GLIM criteria was not associated with adverse outcomes. HGS < mean was associated with patient age, duration of diabetes mellitus, body mass index, brachial circumference, plasma albumin, prealbumin, hemoglobin, transferrin, and HbA1c levels. Predictive variables of mortality after applying multivariate Cox model were age >69years (hazard ratio [HR] 4.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3-12.0, p = 0.01), and HGS < mean (HR 3.7, 95% CI 1.2-11.3, p = 0.01). Survival time in patients with HGS < mean was shorter than in those with HGS ≥ mean, p < 0.01. Innovation: HGS is an easy and useful tool associated with nutritional parameters and with prognosis in patients admitted for IDFU. Conclusions: Neither malnutrition nor muscle function impairment were associated with limb loss or a need for readmission. Patients with HGS < mean presented shorter survival times. As HGS is a simple and cost-effective tool, it should be implemented as part of the nutritional admission evaluation.

Abstract
We hypothesized that a combined index of upper and lower body muscle strength would be more strongly associated with diabetes than either measure alone. Women recruited into the Integrated Women's Health Program had their handgrip strength (HGS) measured using a dynamometer and underwent a timed 5-repetition chair stand (RCS) test. HGS < 18 kg and RCS performance ≥ 12 s assessed upper and lower body strength, respectively, both individually and combined in a muscle strength index (MSI). Diabetes was defined as physician-diagnosed, use of anti-diabetic medication, or fasting blood glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L. Binary logistic regression examined the associations between muscle strength and diabetes. Of 1170 midlife women, 12.1% had diabetes. A low HGS was independently associated with diabetes (aOR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.03, 2.44). Prolonged RCS was also associated with diabetes (aOR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.30), but this was not independent of visceral adiposity and muscle mass. A poor MSI had higher odds of diabetes (aOR: 2.37, 95% CI: 1.40, 4.03), independent of age, ethnicity, education level, menopausal status, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, height, visceral adiposity, and muscle mass. The combination of both upper and lower body muscle strength into a composite MSI was more strongly associated with diabetes than either weak HGS or prolonged RCS alone in midlife women.

Abstract
Background: To evaluate age- and sex-specific differences in the distribution of cardiometabolic diseases and associations of hand-grip strength (HGS) indices with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: This cross-sectional observational study enrolled participants from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n = 16,126, age ≥19 years). Information on cardiometabolic diseases was obtained through surveys or proper criteria applied for undiagnosed participants. Absolute and body size-adjusted HGS indices were evaluated. Clinical manifestations were compared, and associations of HGS indices with T2D were estimated by using odd ratio (OR). Results: Prevalence of T2D in all, younger, and older groups were 13.1%, 4.2%, and 21.4%, respectively. Proportions of cardiometabolic diseases were all higher in those with than without T2D in sex-stratified age groups, whereas obesity (OB) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were higher in younger T2D, and hypertension (HTN) was higher in older T2D in both sexes. Adjusted HGS significantly correlated with cardiometabolic parameters, and thus, high ORs for T2D in low tertiles of adjusted HGS were shown in all groups, whereas high ORs for T2D in low tertiles of absolute HGS were observed only in older men. Conclusions: Among highly prevalent cardiometabolic diseases associated with T2D, OB and NAFLD were more prevalent in younger T2D, but HTN was more prevalent in older T2D in both sexes. Low adjusted HGS was associated with higher T2D risk in all groups, whereas low absolute HGS was associated with higher T2D risk in older men. Thus, adjusted HGS might be useful in screening especially younger or obese T2D.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study investigated the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) with sarcopenia defined by absolute low muscle mass (aLMM) and absolute low muscle strength (aLMS), or sarcopenia defined by relative low muscle mass (rLMM) and relative low muscle strength (rLMS). The cut-off values for men and women were as follows: aLMM, appendicular muscle mass in kg/height2 was <7.0 kg/m2 and <5.7 kg/m2; rLMM, appendicular muscle mass/body weight ×100 was <28.64% and <24.12%; aLMS, handgrip strength was <28 kg and <18 kg; and rLMS, handgrip strength/body weight ×100 was 51.26% and 35.38%. Among 207 men and 164 women, 41.5% men and 57.3% women had MetS, 14.0% men and 6.1% women had sarcopenia as defined by aLMM and aLMS, and 14.0% men and 22.0% women had sarcopenia defined by rLMM and rLMS. Compared with non-sarcopenia, adjusted OR of sarcopenia defined by aLMM and aLMS for the prevalence of MetS was 0.79 (95% CI 0.38–1.67), whereas that of sarcopenia defined by rLMM and rLMS for the prevalence of MetS was 20.6 (95% CI 7.81–54.3). Sarcopenia defined by rLMM and rLMS was associated with the risk of prevalence of MetS, whereas sarcopenia defined by aLMM and aLMS was not.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Handgrip strength (HGS) is an important indicator of health. Because HGS is strongly associated with body size, most investigators normalize HGS for some measure of body size as a more sensitive indicator of strength within a population. We aimed to 1) identify the optimal body size dimension to remove (normalize) HGS for differences in body size among adults and 2) generate norm-referenced centiles for HGS using the identified body size dimension. METHODS Data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a representative sample of the US noninstitutionalized civilian population. Exclusions resulted in a final sample of 8690 adults 20 yr and older. HGS was measured using handheld dynamometry. Body size dimensions included body mass, height, and waist circumference. The most appropriate dimension(s) associated with HGS is identified using allometry. We fitted centile curves for normalized HGS using the generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape. RESULTS Findings suggest that neither body mass nor body mass index is appropriate to normalize HGS. Incorporating all three body size dimensions of body mass, height, and waist circumference, or the reduced subsets of body mass and height, or height alone, suggests that the most appropriate normalizing (body size) dimension associated with HGS should be a cross-sectional or surface area measure of an individual's body size (i.e., L2, where L is a linear dimension of body size). Given that height was also identified as the signally best body size dimension associated with HGS, we recommend HGS be normalized by height2 (i.e., HGS/HT2). Centile curves for HGS/HT2 by age group and gender were therefore provided. CONCLUSIONS Scaling adult HGS by height2 may help normalize strength for population-based research.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ultra-processed foods make up more than 50% of daily energy consumed in Western countries and are rapidly increasing in China. However, little is known about the association between ultra-processed food intake and muscle strength, a predictor for physical disability in senior years. We aimed to investigate the association of ultra-processed food intake with longitudinal changes in grip strength among middle-aged and older Chinese adults. METHODS This prospective cohort study included a total of 5409 adults aged 40 years and over (61.3% men). Ultra-processed food intake was obtained by means of a validated food frequency questionnaire and classified according to the NOVA classification system. Grip strength was measured annually using a handheld digital dynamometer. Multivariable linear regression models were used to examine the association between ultra-processed food intake and annualized change in grip strength and weight-adjusted grip strength. RESULTS In the fully adjusted models, annualized changes in grip strength and weight-adjusted grip strength per 10% increment in the proportion of ultra-processed foods in the diet were - 0.3708 kg (95% confidence interval - 0.5687, - 0.1730; P < 0.001) and - 0.0057 kg/kg (95% confidence interval - 0.0086, - 0.0029; P < 0.0001), respectively. In analyses stratified by age, sex, body mass index, physical activity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and healthy diet score, such associations were largely consistent in most subgroups (all P for interaction > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that higher ultra-processed food intake was associated with faster grip strength decline in middle-aged and older Chinese adults.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hand grip strength (HGS) has been determined as a simple and cost effective method for evaluating overall skeletal muscle strength and quality. It has been used in numerous clinical studies to examine the association between skeletal muscle and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Previous studies have shown that HGS is significantly associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with T2D. As the prevalence of T2D has seen a steady increase globally, HGS measurement can be useful and essential in managing T2D. AREAS COVERED This narrative review summarizes the current evidence regarding the association between HGS and T2D. HGS has been considered a useful tool for identifying risks for T2D, CVD, and mortality and evaluating skeletal muscle strength and quality. OPINION HGS should be measured in all patients with T2D together with height, weight, and waist circumference. However, there is yet no standard method used in measuring for HGS. T2D patients with a low HGS can engage in resistance training more effectively with appropriate advice based on HGS. Future studies clarifying the genetic association between skeletal muscle and T2D are needed to provide individualized exercise therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Grip strength has been associated with chronic diseases and mortality. However, current evidence of the association between grip strength and incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of absolute and relative grip strength with incident T2DM and whether these associations differ by sociodemographic, lifestyle and adiposity-related factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of 166 894 participants in the UK Biobank (mean age 56.5 years, 54.4% women). The outcome was T2DM incidence and the exposure was grip strength, expressed in absolute (kg) and relative (kg per kg of body weight) values. The association between grip strength and T2DM incidence was investigated using Cox-proportional regression. RESULTS The median follow-up was 5.3 years (IQR: 4.7-6.1). During this time, 3713 participants developed T2DM. Lower grip strength was associated with a higher risk of T2DM in both sexes. Those in the lowest quintile of absolute grip strength had a 50% higher risk in men (HR: 1.50 (95% CI: 1.30 to 1.73)) and 25% higher risk in women (HR: 1.25 (95% CI: 1.06 to 1.47)) compared with those in the highest quintile. For relative grip strength, risk of diabetes was more than double for men (HR: 2.22 (95% CI: 1.84 to 2.67)) and 96% higher for women (HR: 1.96 (95% CI: 1.52 to 2.53)) in the lowest compared with highest quintiles. CONCLUSIONS Grip strength is associated with a higher risk of T2DM incidence in both men and women independent of important confounding factors including age, deprivation, adiposity and lifestyle. However, the associations were stronger when grip strength is expressed relative to body weight, which could reflect the importance of muscle quality.

Abstract
We aimed to determine cut-points for muscle strength based on metabolic syndrome diagnosis. This cross-sectional analysis comprised data from 2 cohorts in Brazil (EpiFloripa Adult, n = 626, 44.0 ± 11.1 years; EpiFloripa Aging, n = 365, 71.6 ± 6.1 years). Metabolic syndrome was assessed by relative handgrip strength (kgf/kg). Metabolic syndrome was defined as including ≥3 of the 5 metabolic abnormalities according to the Joint Interim Statement. Optimal cut-points from Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were determined. Adjusted logistic regression was used to test the association between metabolic syndrome and the cut-points created. The cut-point identified for muscle strength was 1.07 kgf/kg (Youden index = 0.310; area under the curve (AUC)) = 0.693, 95% CI 0.614-0.764) for men and 0.73 kgf/kg (Youden index = 0.481; AUC = 0.768, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.709-0.821) for women (age group 25 to < 50 years). The best cut-points for men and women aged 50+ years were 0.99 kgf/kg (Youden index = 0.312; AUC = 0.651; 95% CI = 0.583-0.714) and 0.58 kgf/kg (Youden index = 0.378; AUC = 0.743; 95% CI = 0.696-0.786), respectively. Cut-points derived from ROC analysis have good discriminatory power for metabolic syndrome among adults aged 25 to <50 years but not for adults aged 50+ years. Novelty: First-line management recommendation for metabolic syndrome is lifestyle modification, including improvement of muscle strength. Cut-points for muscle strength levels according to sex and age range based on metabolic syndrome were created. Cut-points for muscle strength can assist in the identification of adults at risk for cardiometabolic disease.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is a risk of sarcopenia, and the presence of sarcopenia is high in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It has been reported that habitual miso soup consumption was associated with lower insulin resistance. However, the association between habitual miso consumption and the presence of sarcopenia in patients with T2DM, especially sex difference, was unclear. In this cross-sectional study, 192 men and 159 women with T2DM were included. Habitual miso consumption was defined as consuming miso soup regularly. Having both low skeletal muscle mass index (<28.64% for men, <24.12% for women) and low adjusted hand grip strength (<51.26% for men, <35.38% for women) was defined as sarcopenia. The proportions of sarcopenia were 8.7% in men and 22.6% in women. The proportions of habitual miso consumption were 88.0% in men and 83.6% in women. Among women, the presence of sarcopenia was lower in the group with habitual miso consumption (18.8% versus 42.3%, p = 0.018); however, there was no association between habitual miso consumption and the presence of sarcopenia in men. Habitual miso consumption was negatively associated with the presence of sarcopenia in women (adjusted odds ratio (OR), 0.20 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.06-0.62), p = 0.005) but not in men. This study indicated that habitual miso consumption was associated with the presence of sarcopenia in women but not in men.

Abstract
Hand grip is a leading measure of muscle strength and general health, yet its association with body shape is not well characterized. Here, we examine correlations between grip strength, a body shape index (ABSI), and body mass index (BMI) in the 2011-2014 United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohorts. Grip strength was found to correlate negatively with ABSI (though positively with BMI), suggesting that those with a more central body profile tend to be weaker than others with the same weight. Individuals with low grip strength, as well as those with high ABSI, were more likely to die during follow up, whereas there was no association of BMI with mortality hazard. Transforming the grip strength, ABSI, and BMI by taking their logarithm prior to standardization did not meaningfully change the associations seen. These findings suggest that combining anthropometrics (ABSI, BMI) with grip strength may better identify individual mortality hazard in research studies and clinical practice.
