Elderly people with weaker grip strength and slower walking speed are more likely to experience negative outcomes like hospitalization or falls. A study looked at 492 patients and found that only reduced grip strength and a combination of weak grip strength and slow walking speed were linked to these bad outcomes. The study suggests that using both grip strength and walking speed together is the best way to predict negative outcomes in older adults. The study used specific cut-off values for grip strength and walking speed to determine risk levels.
