Joint associations of handgrip strength and physical activity with incident cardiovascular disease and overall mortality in the UK Biobank
Our results indicate that, while following physical activity guidelines does not reduce mortality in individuals with high handgrip strength, it is essential for preventing cardiovascular disease across all levels of handgrip strength. This underscores the importance of these guidelines for cardiovascular health.
