Dose–Response Association Between Handgrip Strength and All‐Cause Mortality Across Different Levels of Systemic Inflammation
Handgrip strength demonstrates a strong inverse dose-response association with mortality across varying inflammation levels. Protective effects persist even with elevated inflammatory markers, supporting handgrip strength as an accessible biomarker for mortality risk stratification in older adults regardless of inflammatory status.
