Previous reports of an association between handgrip strength (HGS) and the risk of hypertension have utilized cross-sectional designs. We aimed to assess the prospective association between HGS and hypertension risk in a general population. Handgrip strength was assessed at baseline in 463 Finnish men and women aged 61-73 years. Handgrip strength was normalized (HGS/body weight). After 16 years median follow-up, 110 hypertension cases occurred. Comparing the extreme tertiles of normalized HGS, the multivariable adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) for hypertension was 0.63 (0.38-1.04). Previous evidence of associations may have been driven by study design limitations such as lack of temporality.
先前有关握力(HGS)与高血压风险之间关联的报告均采用了横断面设计。我们旨在评估一般人群中 HGS 与高血压风险的前瞻性关联。在基线时,评估了 463 名年龄在 61-73 岁的芬兰男性和女性的握力。握力进行了标准化(HGS/体重)。在中位随访 16 年后,发生了 110 例高血压病例。比较标准化 HGS 的极端三分位值,高血压的多变量调整风险比(95%CI)为 0.63(0.38-1.04)。先前关联的证据可能是由研究设计局限性驱动的,例如缺乏时间性。
