Estimated Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Grip Strength: Independent and Combined Associations With Multimorbidity Risk and Patterns in a Large-Scale Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLittle is known about the associations between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), grip strength (GS), and their combined effect on multimorbidity. This investigation aimed to identify diseases associated with estimated CRF and GS, evaluate the associations among estimated CRF, GS, and their combination with multimorbidity.
methodsThis analysis was based on data from 63 177 individuals who provided valid CRF and GS data in UK Biobank. Phenome-wide association studies identified diseases associated with both CRF and GS, defining multimorbidity. Cox proportional hazard models, logistic regression, and quasi-Poisson mixed effects models were used to investigate the effects of CRF and GS on multimorbidity.
resultsA total of 32 diseases were included to constitute the multimorbidity indicator. During a median follow-up of 11.58 years, at least 2 diseases developed in 21 275 participants. Compared with their lowest tertiles, the highest categories of estimated CRF and GS showed hazard ratios (HR) of 0.77 (95% CI, 0.74-0.80) and 0.78 (95% CI, 0.76-0.81) for multimorbidity, respectively. The HR for the combination of the highest estimated CRF and GS was 0.62 (95% CI, 0.59-0.66). Low estimated CRF and GS were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, leading to related complications.
conclusionsHigh estimated CRF and GS were associated with low multimorbidity risk. Maintaining both estimated CRF and GS may be more effective than targeting either alone. Proactive cardiovascular health management is crucial for individuals with low estimated CRF and GS to prevent multisystem multimorbidity.
