Stronger Hands linked to a Healthier Heart
The PURE study published on The Lancet showed grip strength was a stronger predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than systolic blood pressure. Each 11-pound decrease in grip strength over the course of the study was linked to a 16% higher risk of dying from any cause, a 17% higher risk of dying from heart disease, a 9% higher risk of stroke, and a 7% higher risk of heart attack.
