2024-05-31
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Low muscle strength predicts premature mortality. We determined whether genetic liability to muscle strength is associated with mortality and whether this association is influenced by long-term leisure-time physical activity (PA). <h4>Methods and Results</h4> We estimated the effects of a polygenic score for hand grip strength (PGS HGS) on all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality ri...
