Abstract

Introduction: The relationships between grip strength asymmetry and cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer outcomes and all-cause mortality remain unclear.

Methods: Among 443,132 UK Biobank participants enrolled from 2006 to 2010, grip strength asymmetry was defined as the ratio of left-hand grip strength (kg) to right-hand grip strength (kg) <0.9 or >1.1. The Cox proportional model was employed to assess the associations of grip strength asymmetry with cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer outcomes and all-cause mortality. Net reclassification improvement was assessed to evaluate the improvement in risk discrimination for outcomes after adding grip strength asymmetry to the model with established office-based risk factors.

Results: After a mean follow-up of 12.1 years, 28,478 (6.4%) deaths occurred. grip strength asymmetry was significantly associated with all-cause (hazard ratio: 1.096; 95% CI=1.070, 1.122), cardiovascular disease (hazard ratio: 1.141; 95% CI=1.071, 1.216), respiratory disease (hazard ratio: 1.183; 95% CI=1.076, 1.301), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (hazard ratio: 1.284; 95% CI=1.087, 1.516), and cancer (hazard ratio: 1.051; 95% CI=1.017, 1.086) mortality. Significant associations of grip strength asymmetry with cardiovascular disease (hazard ratio: 1.029; 95% CI=1.004, 1.054), respiratory disease (hazard ratio: 1.074; 95% CI=1.051, 1.103), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (hazard ratio: 1.123; 95% CI=1.038, 1.215), and colorectal cancer (hazard ratio: 1.051; 95% CI=1.037, 1.066) incidence were observed. Moreover, adding grip strength asymmetry to a model with established office-based risk factors significantly improved the ability to predict all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease mortality.

Conclusions: Grip strength asymmetry was associated with a range of adverse health outcomes and may have clinical use in predicting all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease mortalities. Further studies are warranted to validate the clinical value of the grip strength asymmetry assessment.

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Preventive Medicine is the official journal of the American College of Preventive Medicine and the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research. It publishes articles in the areas of prevention research, teaching, practice and policy. Original research is published on interventions aimed at the prevention of chronic and acute disease and the promotion of individual and community health. Of particular emphasis are papers that address the primary and secondary prevention of important clinical, behavioral and public health issues such as injury and violence, infectious disease, women''s health, smoking, sedentary behaviors and physical activity, nutrition, diabetes, obesity, and substance use disorders. Papers also address educational initiatives aimed at improving the ability of health professionals to provide effective clinical prevention and public health services. Papers on health services research pertinent to prevention and public health are also published. The journal also publishes official policy statements from the two co-sponsoring organizations, review articles, media reviews, and editorials. Finally, the journal periodically publishes supplements and special theme issues devoted to areas of current interest to the prevention community.
