Association of handgrip strength with all-cause mortality: a nationally longitudinal cohort study in China
2022, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :Muscle weakness and dysfunction, as typically characterized as sarcopenia, has been commonly regarded as a disease with an independent risk factor for higher mortality.25 The impact of muscle strength on mortality may be connected with its function during the disabled process, as muscle is the greatest reserve of protein in the body.26 As indicated in previous literature, people with weak strength were prone to difficulties in daily physical activities.26
