The relationships between grip strength asymmetry and cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer outcomes and all-cause mortality remain unclear.
Among 443,132 UK Biobank participants enrolled from 2006 to 2010, grip strength asymmetry was defined as the ratio of left-hand grip strength (kg) to right-hand grip strength (kg) <0.9 or >1.1. The Cox proportional model was employed to assess the associations of grip strength asymmetry with cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer outcomes and all-cause mortality. Net reclassification improvement was assessed to evaluate the improvement in risk discrimination for outcomes after adding grip strength asymmetry to the model with established office-based risk factors.
After a mean follow-up of 12.1 years, 28,478 (6.4%) deaths occurred. grip strength asymmetry was significantly associated with all-cause (hazard ratio: 1.096; 95% CI=1.070, 1.122), cardiovascular disease (hazard ratio: 1.141; 95% CI=1.071, 1.216), respiratory disease (hazard ratio: 1.183; 95% CI=1.076, 1.301), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (hazard ratio: 1.284; 95% CI=1.087, 1.516), and cancer (hazard ratio: 1.051; 95% CI=1.017, 1.086) mortality. Significant associations of grip strength asymmetry with cardiovascular disease (hazard ratio: 1.029; 95% CI=1.004, 1.054), respiratory disease (hazard ratio: 1.074; 95% CI=1.051, 1.103), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (hazard ratio: 1.123; 95% CI=1.038, 1.215), and colorectal cancer (hazard ratio: 1.051; 95% CI=1.037, 1.066) incidence were observed. Moreover, adding grip strength asymmetry to a model with established office-based risk factors significantly improved the ability to predict all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease mortality.
Grip strength asymmetry was associated with a range of adverse health outcomes and may have clinical use in predicting all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease mortalities. Further studies are warranted to validate the clinical value of the grip strength asymmetry assessment.
握力不对称与心血管、呼吸和癌症结局以及全因死亡率之间的关系尚不清楚。
在2006年至2010年招募的443132名英国生物银行参与者中,握力不对称定义为左手握力(千克)与右手握力(千克)的比值<0.9或>1.1。采用Cox比例模型评估握力不对称与心血管、呼吸和癌症结局以及全因死亡率之间的关联。评估净重新分类改善情况,以评估在将握力不对称添加到具有既定办公室风险因素的模型后,结局风险辨别能力的改善。
平均随访12.1年后,发生了28478例(6.4%)死亡。握力不对称与全因(风险比:1.096;95%置信区间=1.070,1.122)、心血管疾病(风险比:1.141;95%置信区间=1.071,1.216)、呼吸系统疾病(风险比:1.183;95%置信区间=1.076,1.301)、慢性阻塞性肺疾病(风险比:1.284;95%置信区间=1.087,1.516)和癌症(风险比:1.051;95%置信区间=1.017,1.086)死亡率显著相关。观察到握力不对称与心血管疾病(风险比:1.029;95%置信区间=1.004,1.054)、呼吸系统疾病(风险比:1.074;95%置信区间=1.051,1.103)、慢性阻塞性肺疾病(风险比:1.123;95%置信区间=1.038,1.215)和结直肠癌(风险比:1.051;95%置信区间=1.037,1.066)发病率显著相关。此外,将握力不对称添加到具有既定办公室风险因素的模型中,显著提高了预测全因、心血管疾病和呼吸系统疾病死亡率的能力。
握力不对称与一系列不良健康结局相关,可能在预测全因、心血管疾病和呼吸系统疾病死亡率方面具有临床应用价值。有必要进行进一步研究以验证握力不对称评估的临床价值。
