Grip Strength or Osteoporosis... Which Came First?

In this video Dr. Doug Lucas discusses grip strength, a predictor of overall health that is linked to various health outcomes. Poor grip strength is associated with higher risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterol, hypertension, physical disability, and impaired mobility. Grip strength is also a marker of brain health and is associated with the integrity of neural systems controlling movement. Osteoporosis patients with weak grip strength have lower quality of life scores and are more likely to experience impaired mobility. While grip strength exercises alone may not significantly impact longevity and mortality, exercises that build muscle mass and improve metabolic health can increase functional grip strength.

This channel is focused on Bones, Hormones, and Healthspan to help midlife women and beyond aim for optimal, not average, and reignite their spark!

The videos on this channel will be focused around helping women navigate healthspan and longevity through the lens of osteoporosis, perimenopause, and menopause. When it comes to osteoporosis and menopause providers and educators often get tunnel vision and your symptoms might get better, but if you don't keep longevity in mind, symptom improvement may come at the expense of heart and brain health.

Subscribe and follow along as Dr. Doug Lucas explores the research and clinical applications surrounding women's health.
