| description | Studies have shown the indicative role of handgrip strength in health. However, there is limited evidence revealing its potential effect on death events among middle-aged and older adults in China. We aimed to prospectively evaluate if lower handgrip strength is associated with the event of death. Among 17,167 middle-aged and older adults between age 45 to 96, handgrip strength was collected by a handheld dynamometer in a Chinese longitudinal study of aging trend (CHARLS) 2011–2018. Using Cox proportional hazard models with exposures, we assessed the association between handgrip strength and death events. Elevated handgrip strength values were independently associated with the decreased death risk. These results illustrate that lower handgrip strength is an independent indicator of death risks among middle-aged and older Chinese, which highlights the significance of related intercessions. The median values of five levels of handgrip strength in the entire cohort were 16.5,23,28,33,42kg at baseline. A linear association existed between the handgrip strength values and the risk of all-cause death within 34.2kg. Handgrip strength can serve as an independent indicator for death risks. |
