It is irrelevant to even just the human health.
It's not a myth because it's actually a scientifically measured fact.
It is a metric that has been used to correlate.
No, it's not a worthwhile metric to trend.
What's happened is the great Peter Attia, the great neurodivergent Peter Attia, who latches on to these numbers and then just takes it to another level with his marketing team,
grip strength is a surrogate marker it is a one way to measure strength but what you're measuring in grip strength is you're trying to reverse engineer whole body strength so i have people coming to me saying what's the best way to measure my grip strength carry your kids in your arms i don't know do something practical grip strength is not going to prevent you from falling off a toilet and dying the data is very clear
The mortality, the number of adults over the age of 65 who die within one year of a pelvic or proximal long bone fracture is a third.
What is that saying?
So if you fall and break your hip,
one third of those people will be dead within one year.
They go to a nursing home, they get pneumonia, they die, okay?
Why is that happening?
It's because it's a reflection.
Why did you fall is the question.
You're unbalanced, you're uncoordinated, and you're weak.
So when you do indeed compare grip strength to proximal lower extremity muscle strength, proximal lower extremities win every time, right?
You don't fall.
I don't care.
You could have forearms the size of my torso, and it's not going to prevent you from falling, but weak quads will.
So we need to be looking.
