High grip strength attenuates risk of severe COVID-19 in males but not females with obesity: A short communication of prospective findings from UK Biobank

We examined the joint associations of BMI category and grip strength tertile with risk of severe COVID-19 (inpatient COVID-19 or COVID-19 mortality) in 327 500 UK Biobank participants. Compared to normal-weight males with high grip strength, the odds ratio (95 % confidence interval) for males with o...

description We examined the joint associations of BMI category and grip strength tertile with risk of severe COVID-19 (inpatient COVID-19 or COVID-19 mortality) in 327 500 UK Biobank participants. Compared to normal-weight males with high grip strength, the odds ratio (95 % confidence interval) for males with obesity with low grip strength was 2.39 (1.59–3.60), but 1.52 (0.98–2.35) for males with obesity with a high grip strength. A higher grip strength did not appear to be associated with lower risk of severe COVID-19 in females. Muscle mass and strength development should be considered as a means to reduce risk of severe COVID-19 for males with obesity.
