Description
Minjun Kim, Jeonghyeon Kim, and Inhwan Lee link grip strength and arm muscle to fatty liver risk in wheelchair users during a 2026 study. Eighty five adults from disability sports facilities gave grip, body composition, and liver risk index measurements. Two established index scores defined fatty liver risk.
Weak grip alone roughly tripled the odds of a high risk score. Low arm muscle alone showed a similar risk rise. Having both weaknesses together multiplied risk about sevenfold, even after adjustments. Upper body strength matters greatly for people who propel wheelchairs daily. Clinicians gain two cheap screening measures for liver risk in this underserved group.
