Biological Insights Into Muscular Strength: Genetic Findings in the UK Biobank

2017-10-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Hand grip strength, a simple indicator of muscular strength, has been associated with a range of health conditions, including fractures, disability, cardiovascular disease and premature death risk. Twin studies have suggested a high (50-60%) heritability, but genetic determinants are largely unknown. <h4>Aims</h4> In this study, our aim was to study genetic variation associated with muscular...
