The relationship between adiposity and grip strength (GS) is complex. We investigated whether one pathway through which adiposity affects GS was via chronic inflammation. 367,583 UK Biobank participants had body mass index (BMI), waist-hip-ratio (WHR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and GS data. Univariable Mendelian randomization (MR) and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) analyses (using inverse variance...
