a All estimates weighted according to Sampling Design (see Methods)

b Models including grip strength or grip strength/LM have N = 970. Other models, N = 1,147.

c Model 1: Controlled for age and height

d Model 2: Controlled for age, height, fat mass, self-rated health and physical activity

e Model 3: Controlled for age, height, fat mass, self-rated health and physical activity, plus maximum grip strength, the composite physical function score, or lean mass

f Model 3: Controlled for age, height, fat mass, self-rated health and physical activity, plus maximum grip strength/arms LM, composite physical function score/legs LM, or lean mass index

g Lean mass index models were not adjusted for height since height2 is the denominator of the outcome

* p < .05

** p < .01

*** p < .001
