- In 93,275 UK adults, stronger midlife grip predicted slower disease progression and lower mortality over 13 years.
- Each 11.6 kg increase in grip is linked to a 14% lower risk of a first health problem and a 13% lower risk of death.
- Approximate protective thresholds appeared near 32 kg, 39 kg, and 47 kg at successive stages.
