Association between handgrip strength and the risk of new-onset metabolic syndrome: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

A lower relative handgrip strength (HGS) may disrupt metabolic homeostasis and then lead to metabolic syndrome (MetS). There is a paucity of longitudinal studies to examine whether relative HGS at baseline is linked to incident MetS. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to explore the association between relative HGS and new-onset MetS.

Design

This is an observational and longitudinal research.A nationally representative sample of population in China.

Participants

A total of 3350 subjects without MetS were selected for analysis in the present study. Data are from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011-2015).

Outcome measures

We calculated the relative HGS by dividing the HGS by body weight. Participants were divided into gende
