Popis: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and the risk of subsequent vertebral fracture (SVF) after percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA). A total of 340 patients aged over 50 years with osteoporotic vertebral fracture were enrolled in this 3-year follow-up investigation. HGS was measured with a hand-held dynamometer before PVA. Female patients and male patients were grouped using the HGS threshold recommended by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS). Kaplan–Meier analysis was used to evaluate SVF-free survival. The hazard ratios (HRs) of HGS for SVF events were estimated with the Cox proportional hazards model. During the follow-up period, a total of 93 patients (27.4%) experienced SVF. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that the HGS of female patients
