Impact of handgrip strength on cardiovascular, cancer and all-cause mortality in the Korean longitudinal study of ageing by Gyu Ri Kim, Jiyu Sun, Minkyung Han, Sohee Park, Chung Mo Nam

“…The cause-specific hazards regression analysis was also used to model cardiovascular and cancer mortality, by treating deaths from the cause of interest as events and other causes of death as censored.Participants 5859 participants aged 50 years or older were followed up until death or until the date of censoring (31 December 2014).Primary outcome measures The study outcomes of interest were all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality.Results Of the participants included in analyses, 515 individuals (8.8%) died, reflecting an overall crude mortality rate of 11.0 deaths per 1000 person-years. Participants in the lowest handgrip strength tertile showed an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality evidenced by a multivariable adjusted HRs of 1.90 (95% CI 1.33 to 2.73) and 1.59 (95% Cl 1.08 to 2.34), respectively. …”
