Note: Q1=the first quartile (lowest); Q2=the second quartile; Q3= the third quartile; Q4= the fourth quartile; Dominant HGS: maximum HGS of the dominant hand; Relative HGS: the sum of the maximum HGS of both hands divided by BMI. Model 0: unadjusted; Model 1 was adjusted for age and gender. Model 2 was adjusted for the office-based risk factors (age, gender, BMI, smoking, and hypertension); Model 3 was adjusted for age, gender, residence, country, BMI, education, drinking and smoking, high blood pressure, cancer, lung disease, heart problems, stroke, arthritis, high cholesterol, Parkinson’s disease, hip fracture, and ulcer
