What Grip Strength Can Tell You About Your Health
A Wall Street Journal piece explains that grip strength is increasingly used as a simple indicator of overall health. Research links weaker grip to risks such as muscle loss, frailty and cardiovascular problems, making a handgrip test a quick, low-cost way to gauge strength and ageing. Readers are discussing how to test their own grip and what the results may signal.
Why now: Growing interest in simple, at-home health metrics has put grip strength testing in the spotlight.
