Age Moderates the Association Between Handgrip Strength and Large Artery Stiffness in Women.
Abstract
Women's cardiovascular disease risk increases during midlife, in part, due to accelerated vascular dysfunction. Age-related vascular dysfunction includes increases in large artery stiffness, which may be mitigated by maintaining muscular strength. However, the relationship between handgrip strength and large artery stiffness through the lifespan in women is unknown.

Research summary
The paper claims that age moderates the relationship between handgrip strength and large artery stiffness in women. This research is relevant as it explores the interplay between muscular strength and vascular health, which are critical factors in understanding and potentially mitigating age-related cardiovascular dysfunction.
