Muscle strength and mass as predictors of pancreatic cancer: insights from the UK biobank
These findings highlight an association between improved physical capability and reduced PC risk, supporting the adoption of sex-specific preventive strategies-prioritizing muscle mass augmentation in men and grip strength enhancement in women, particularly in high-risk metabolic subgroups. By characterizing sarcopenia as an independent risk factor, this study underscores the imperative to integrate muscle preservation into pancreatic cancer prevention paradigms.
