Paper

Abstract

Hand-grip strength (HGS) asymmetry may represent an indicator of overall health, yet its relationship with mortality risk remains underexplored at different cut-offs and populations. We aimed to investigate the association between HGS asymmetry and all-cause mortality in Japanese adults.

Research summary

The paper investigates the association between hand-grip strength asymmetry and all-cause mortality in Japanese adults. This research is relevant as it explores a potential indicator of overall health that could contribute to understanding longevity and aging.
