Grip Strength and Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy

Caption

Grip strength in early pregnancy was inversely associated with the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Relative grip strength showed a linear inverse association with HDP, whereas absolute grip strength exhibited a nonlinear pattern. Relative grip strength may serve as a simple and useful measure for risk stratification.
