Association of handgrip strength with the risk of all-cause mortality among 6594 patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity
| Unadjusted model | Adjusted model | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR (95% CI) | P | HR (95% CI) | P | |
| Q4 (highest) | 1 (reference) | 1 (reference) | ||
| Q3 | 1.31 (1.15–1.49) | < 0.0001 | 1.19 (1.05–1.36) | 0.0088 |
| Q2 | 1.47 (1.28–1.68) | < 0.0001 | 1.21 (1.05–1.39) | 0.0072 |
| Q1 (lowest) | 1.87 (1.64–2.14) | < 0.0001 | 1.57 (1.36–1.80) | < 0.0001 |
| Continuous variablea | 1.12 (1.08–1.17) | < 0.0001 | 1.15 (1.10–1.21) | < 0.0001 |
Adjusted model was adjusted for age, sex, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, smoking status, alcohol drinking, physical activity, BMI, and hypertension
aContinuous variable was represented by per standard deviation (SD) decrease of handgrip strength
