Stronger grip linked to lower risk of blood clots in veins

Higher grip strength relative to body weight was linked to 13% lower relative clot risk per standard deviation, a measure of variation in strength.Higher grip strength relative to body weight was linked to 13% lower relative clot risk per standard deviation, a measure of variation in strength.

Chromosome changes linked to differing clot risks in people

Large non-sex chromosome changes were linked to higher clot risk than in noncarriers, with a hazard ratio (relative risk over time) of 1.29.Large non-sex chromosome changes were linked to higher clot risk than in noncarriers, with a hazard ratio (relative risk over time) of 1.29.
