Background: The relationship between childhood and adulthood socioeconomic status (SES) and long-term frailty trajectories is unclear. We aimed to assess the frailty index (FI) dynamic trajectories and examine the associations between childhood and adulthood SES and frailty trajectories.
Methods: We included 7321 participants aged 45 and older from the 2011-2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between handgrip strength and all-cause mortality using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) involving over 9,500 adults.
- It finds that various measures of grip strength, particularly the average handgrip strength (HGS) and maximum grip strength (MGS), are inversely associated with mortality risk, meaning lower grip strength correlates with a higher risk of death.
- The findings suggest that maintaining good handgrip strength is important for reducing mortality risk, regardless of age or sex, with the lowest 20% of grip strength showing the strongest link to increased mortality risk.
Background: Previous studies using a single obesity indicator cannot fully assess the association between body shape and mortality. We aimed to investigate the association between complementary anthropometric measures and all-cause mortality risk.
Methods: We combined National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2011 to 2016 with mortality data up to December 31, 2019.
