Yes, medical research widely recognizes grip strength as a robust, non-invasive biomarker of overall health, biological aging, and physiological resilience. It serves as a powerful predictor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease, often exceeding the predictive capacity of traditional metrics like blood pressure or Body Mass Index. Beyond mortality, grip strength is a significant indicator of neurocognitive integrity, with lower levels associated with cognitive decline and dementia, while also serving as a key diagnostic tool for sarcopenia and bone health.
