Popis: Abstract Background Although body mass index (BMI) and grip strength (GS) are both predictors of disability, their joint effect on predicting incident disability remains uncertain. We examined whether the effect of BMI on incident disability can be modulated by GS in community‐dwelling older people in Japan. Methods A total of 1486 community‐dwellers in Japan (731 men and 755 women, aged 65–82 years) who participated in the 2nd to 7th waves of the National Institute for Longevity Sciences‐Longitudinal Study of Aging (NILS‐LSA) project, were followed up to 20 years. Twelve subgroups were created according to the intersections of GS (sex‐specific tertiles: low, intermediate, and high) and BMI (underweight 1,
