Résumé
Hand grip strength (HGS) is frequently used in clinical practice, resulting in a potential marker of nutritional status. This study aimed to develop reference values of HGS in Italian women with different categories of body mass index (BMI). Additionally, the main predictors of HGS were identified. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Italian women between ages 16 and 55 y with different categories of BMI at the Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, Federico II University Hospital, Naples Italy. The whole sample was divided into tertiles according to BMI: 15 to 17.29 kg/m A total of 529 women with a mean age of 23.2 ± 7.0 y and an average BMI of 18.9 ± 2.5 kg/m This study defined the normal reference values of HGS in Italian women with different BMI ranges, stratifying the sample group by age. Additionally, the main predictors of HGS were assessed for each BMI tertile. In primary malnutrition (T1), the main predictor of HGS was body weight, whereas in the other two tertiles (T2, T3), the PhA was the main predictor of HGS.
