Hand grip strength: a phenotype suitable for identifying genetic variants affecting mid- and late-life physical functioning.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Aug 2002

Abstract excerpt

Physical functioning late in life has been shown to be affected by genetic factors. Only a few genetic variants have been suggested to be associated with physical functioning, and this only in selected populations (e.g., young healthy males and elite athletes). Declining physical functioning late in life is a major problem in terms of prevalence, morbidity, functional limitations, and quality of life. It is...
