A dynamometer (Practical Metrology, Sussex, and UK) was used for measuring handgrip strength. Three measurements were taken from the dominant hand unless this was unusable (recent stroke weakness). Low muscle strength was defined using the cut-off points of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older people. Low muscle strength = hand grip less than 30 kg and 20 kg in men and women respectively.
