Short summary
A multi-cohort study on grip strength and successful aging reveals that grip strength may not fully capture functional determinants, and methodological issues like self-reported disease bias and temporal design limitations affect cross-population comparability.

Key points
- Grip strength may not fully represent all functional determinants of successful aging.
- Self-reported chronic disease data can introduce misclassification bias, varying by socioeconomic status.
- The study's temporal design and cohort-specific cognitive thresholds limit cross-population comparability.
- Methodological reflection is needed to strengthen future multi-cohort studies on aging.

Abstract
Population aging has accelerated globally, making successful aging a key public health priority. Zhuang and Gao address the prospective association between cumulative average grip strength and successful aging using three international cohorts. While their multi-cohort design offers valuable cross-population insights, several methodological choices warrant consideration. Grip strength may not fully capture functional determinants of successful aging. Self-reported chronic disease introduces misclassification bias varying across socioeconomic groups. The two-stage temporal design does not fully address selection bias and cross-cohort comparability from heterogeneous exposure windows. Additionally, the cohort-relative cognitive threshold undermines cross-population comparability. These considerations highlight the need for methodological reflection and suggest directions for strengthening future multi-cohort studies.
