Fig. 1

Cox proportional hazard regression showing how different combinations of handgrip strength and 5-CST were associated with mortality. Model used age as timescale and were adjusted for sex, height, BMI, physical activity, education level, smoking status, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis and respiratory disease. Estimates are from a model run across 30 imputed datasets combined using Rubin’s rules. HGS, handgrip strength; CST, chair stand test; NL, not low; L, low; VL, very low. The Tromsø Study 2015–2020
