Association of handgrip strength weakness and asymmetry with later life pain risk in middle‐aged and older individuals: Results from four prospective cohorts
Our findings suggest that HGS can be used as an independent predictor of pain in middle-aged and older European, American, and Chinese populations. However, our results do not support the use of HGS asymmetry as an independent predictor of pain risk. It is necessary to establish appropriate criteria for HGS asymmetry across different populations. The use of both weak HGS and asymmetry as predictors of health outcomes requires further validation in more diverse populations.
