Prognostic value of grip strength: findings from the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study
This study suggests that measurement of grip strength is a simple, inexpensive risk-stratifying method for all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and cardiovascular disease.

Funding Full funding sources listed at end of paper (see Acknowledgments).
