This study aimed to reveal the status of physical fitness (PF) levels and determine whether hand grip strength (HGS) could be used to estimate other PF parameters in older adults from large population...
Hand grip strength (HGS) is related to arthritis and all-cause mortality. Many studies have examined the association between HGS and arthritis, but these studies did not consider relative HGS indices....
In a large-scale cross-sectional study, a total of 16,860 subjects older than 50 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey from 2014 to 2019 were included for statistical analysis. A b...
In the crude analysis, all anthropometric and HGS indices were associated with arthritis except for weight in men. In adjusted models 1 and 2, among the anthropometric indices, waist circumference (WC...
Absolute and relative HGS indices had negative associations with arthritis, and the magnitude of the association between the absolute HGS index and arthritis and between the relative HGS indices and a...
The cachexia index is a useful predictor for cancer cachexia and prognostic assessment. However, its use is limited because of high testing costs and complicated testing procedures. Thus, in this stud...
Here, 14 682 patients with cancer were studied, including the discovery (6592), internal validation (2820) and external validation (5270) cohorts. The H-CXI was calculated as [HGS (kg)/height (m)...
There was a significant non-linear relationship between the H-CXI and OS in all cohorts. Patients with a low H-CXI had significantly lower OS than those with a high H-CXI in the discovery cohort (6-ye...
The simple and practical H-CXI is a promising predictor for cancer cachexia and prognosis in patients with cancer....
Emerging evidence suggest that in addition to low hand grip strength (HGS), HGS asymmetry is associated with declining cognitive and physical functions. We examined the associations of low HGS and asy...
Cross-sectional data of 330 community-dwelling adults (55.2% women) aged ≥ 55 years included HGS, Repeated Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), and Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG). L...
Low HGS, but not asymmetry, was independently associated with lower functional mobility performance (β = 1.3, 95%CI = 0.6,1.9), global cognitive function (β = -10.4, 95%CI = -17.0,-3.8), immediate (β ...
Low HGS, but not asymmetry, was associated with lower cognition and functional mobility. Associations of combined low HGS and asymmetry with cognitive and physical functions were driven by grip streng...
Patients with osteoporosis (OP) are often associated with decreased hand grip strength and increased risk of falling. It remains unclear whether there is a genetic causal between hand grip strength an...
The Mendelian randomization study was used to investigate the genetic causal effect of low hand grip strength on total body bone mineral density (BMD) at different ages, OP, and falling risk. Genes fo...
The results showed strong evidence that low hand grip strength was positively associated with OP (OR: 1.006, 95% CI: 1.003-1.010; P= 0.0001) and falling risk (OR: 1.069, 95% CI: 1.013-1.129; P= 0.0160...
The study found a positive causal relationship between low hand grip strength and higher risk of OP and falling, which should be taken into account in the development of future prevention and screenin...
Normative values for hand grip and pinch strength among children in Saudi Arabia has not been well established. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to establish normative values for hand grip and...
A cross-sectional study was conducted from different 5 regions in Saudi Arabia. Participants between the age of 6 years and 18 years old were recruited through different primary and secondary schools ...
A total of 616 participants included in this study (318 boys and 298 girls). Participants were stratified into 5 chronological age groups of 6-7 years, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15, 16-17, and 18 years. T...
This study established normative values for hand grip and pinch strength in the healthy Saudi pediatric and adolescent population, using boys and girls aged 6 to 18. The outcomes of this study also de...
Several observational studies have reported an association between hand grip strength (HGS) and pulmonary function (PF). However, causality is unclear. To investigate whether HGS and PF are causally a...
We identified 110 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for right-hand grip strength (RHGS) and 103 independent SNPs for left-hand grip strength (LHGS) at the genome-wide significant thre...
Genetical liability to HGS was positively causally associated with forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), but not with FEV1/FVC. In addition, there was positive...
Our study provides support at the genetic level that HGS is positively causally associated with FVC and FEV1, but not with FEV1/FVC. Interventions for HGS in PF impairment deserve further exploration ...
Despite numerous studies that show force regulation is impaired after stroke, two recent studies suggest that the ability to regulate submaximal, isometric grip forces may remain substantially intact....
Hand grip strength (HGS) and pinch strength are important clinical measures for assessing the hand and overall health....
The aim of the present study is to predict HGS and pinch strength based on 1 hand anthropometry, and (2) body anthropometric parameters using machine learning....
A Secondary analysis was conducted on 542 participant aged 30-60 years from the Persian Organizational Cohort study in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were fitt...
The optimal HGS model, using the input of gender, body mass, and hand anthropometric parameters of length (both total length and palm), maximum width, maximum breadth, and hand shape index, achieved n...
This ANN model showed that hand anthropometric parameters of total length, palm length, maximum width, maximum breadth, and the hand shape index, emerge as optimal predictors for both HGS and HPS. Bod...

Muscle strength has been shown to exert positive effects on bone health. The causal relationship between hand grip strength and osteoporosis is an important public health issue but is not fully reveal...
We conducted a state-of-the-art two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis. Genomewide significant (...
The results provided strong evidence that hand grip strength trait was causally and positively associated with lumbar spine BMD (...
This study showed a positive causal relationship between hand grip strength and lumbar BMD, which is the most common site of osteoporotic fracture, but did not find a causal relationship between hand ...
