The association of appendicular lean mass and grip strength with low-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein particle diameter: a Mendelian randomization study of the UK Biobank cohort

Lay Summary: Higher levels of muscle mass in the arms and legs and grip strength are associated with larger high-density lipoprotein particles and smaller very low-density lipoprotein particles in the blood, which may indicate a lower risk of some forms of heart disease.
