In older women, a stronger grip still had a lower mortality hazard after activity was measured

In 5,472 ambulatory women aged 63 to 99, the strongest grip quartile still had a lower mortality hazard after a 7-day accelerometer was included (HR 0.70). The gap shrinks when activity is accounted for. It does not disappear. Chair-stand quartiles show a similar contrast, but the continuous chair-stand result does not stay significant.
