IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 7540: Relationship of Multimorbidity, Obesity Status, and Grip Strength among Older Adults in Taiwan

Conclusion: Older adults who have two, rather than one or greater than three chronic diseases, have significantly lower GSs than those who are healthy. Stroke and CKD for males, and hypertension and diabetes for females, are important chronic diseases that are significantly associated with GS. Furthermore, being overweight may be a protective factor for GS in older adults of both sexes.
