Grip Strength in Longevity: The New Essential Biomarker

Grip strength has emerged as a powerful biomarker for biological age, surpassing traditional metrics such as blood pressure in predicting risk of chronic disease, health outcomes and longevity. Its value extends beyond being a measure of frailty or physical performance, reflecting key health metrics - muscle mass, bone density, and balance - that are critical for maintaining functional independence. Thus, grip strength is not only a measure of physical performance but also a key indicator of one’s biological resilience, with significant implications for long-term well-being.
