Handgrip Strength Asymmetry Predicts Mortality Risk: A Prospective Cohort Study From the UK Biobank

Although low handgrip strength (HGS) is a well-established biomarker of aging and mortality, the prognostic significance of HGS asymmetry remains underexplored. This study sought to determine the associations of HGS asymmetry patterns with frailty, comorbidities, mortality risk, and life expectancy in a large population-based cohort.
