“…Our findings of low HGS to be associated with increased risk of NCD are in line with previous reports reporting low HGS to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (Leong et al 2015), cardiometabolic disorders (CMD) (Hao et al 2020) and the metabolic syndrome (Sayer et al 2007). Furthermore, a recent study of older adults in Malaysia found low HGS to be associated with increased prevalence of diabetes and hypertension (Shah et al 2022). In our study, NCD and osteoarthritis had higher impact on men's HGS and less so among women.…”

Hand grip strength (HGS) is a key indicator of intrinsic capacity and has shown good predictive ability for morbidity and mortality. Reference values from normative populations are valuable, and such data from the Norwegian population are scarce. Normative values for the digital Jamar+ dynamometer are largely lacking.HGS was assessed in the Norwegian Tromsø study, survey 7 in 2015–2016 for 7824 participants (9324 invited) aged 40+ using a Jamar+ digital dynamometer, and three measurements for each hand were performed following the Southampton protocol. To account for non-response, full Tromsø population data, by age, education and sex, were collected from registry data from microdata.no, a service from Statistics Norway, and were then used as post-stratification weights, to provide standardized HGS values. HGS was higher in men than in women and inversely associated with age. Men and women with a history of non-communicable diseases had lower HGS than those without these conditions, while osteoarthritis was associated with lower HGS only among men. Lower height was associated with lower HGS, especially at younger ages in men. This article provides up-to-date references values for HGS in the community-dwelling population aged 40+ with or without osteoarthritis or non-communicable diseases, in Tromsø, Norway. These reference values will guide clinicians and researchers.

“…(11) Association of age and HGS of dominant and non-dominant hand had also been evaluated in this study. The outcome of the current study revealed that age and HGS were also significantly correlated in a negative manner, confirming the previous studies done by Shamsul Azhar Shah, et all (21), Agnieszka Wiśniowska-Szurlej, et all (23), Hirokazu Inoue, et all (31) and Xuemei Lu, et all (32) that revealed strong, negative and statistically significant relation between age and HGS. On the other hand, current study's result about age was contrary to the previous study conducted by Luigi Barrea, et all that showed no evident correlation between HGS and age.…”

“…The association between body mass index and handgrip strength has been widely established. Some studies revealed positive association between HGS and BMI as Shamsul Azhar Shah, et all revealed through their study (21) but some of them showed negative relation between them as Dhananjaya J R, et all (10) and Luigi Barrea, et all showed through their study. (22) Furthermore, in some studies, it is shown that BMI and HGS has no significant relationship.…”

“…The present study's results were contrary to the study done by Shamsul Azhar Shah, et all which concluded that BMI and HGS had significant and positive association. (21) Similarly, Mateus Augusto Bim, et all conducted a study through which they showed that BMI and HGS had a positive relation in both males and females. (26) the current study's results were also contrary to one other study which was conducted by Chung Reen Kim, et all which concluded that participants with low HGS had lower BMI compared to those in the normal HGS group.…”

Background: The strength of one's grip is a good determining factor of their overall muscularity. Grip strength can be utilized in a variety of circumstances to assess and monitor a variety of health-related conditions. Objective: To evaluate the association of hand grip strength with BMI in cardiovascular disease patients. Methodology: An analytical cross sectional study was done on a population basis. A total of 256 patients of cardiovascular diseases were included in this study. Data were collected through purposive sampling technique. A proforma used to get demographic data including name, age, height, weight and occupation. Their BMI was also calculated. Hand grip strength was measured through handheld dynamometer of both hands. Three trials were performed by the patients from both hands. Results: Out of 256 total participants, 133 (52%) were males and 123 (48%) were females. Their mean age was 51.12 (SD = 12.513) and mean BMI was 26.533 (SD = 5.1012). Hand grip strength (HGS) and body mass index (BMI) had a negative and statistically significant association, for dominant hand (pearson’s r = -0.309, p = 0) and for non-dominant hand (pearson’s r = -0.308, p = 0). Mean hand grip strength of dominant hand was 24.677 (SD = 9.0567) and of non-dminant hand was 21.861 (SD = 8.8035). Age and duration of diseases also had a negative and statistically significant association with the hand grip strength of both hands of the patients with p value 0. Conclusion: It was concluded that the BMI had a great impact on HGS. Presence of CVD and the duration of this disease also affect HGS. With increasing age and obesity hand grip strength decreases. Keywords: Body mass index, Hand grip strength, Cardiovascular diseases.

“…Similarly, Kawamoto et al 69 reported that grip strength increased with higher daily alcohol consumption in Japanese adults. Shan et al 70 observed a positive relationship between alcohol intake and handgrip strength in Malaysians, although the drinking group in that study were younger than the abstaining group. Additionally, Molina-Hidalgo et al 71 found that short-term daily alcohol consumption did not impact physical performance in healthy young adults.…”

Investigating the relationship between alcohol consumption and physical performance, we used data from the 2015–2018 Know Your Heart study on 4215 adults aged 35–69 from Arkhangelsk and Novosibirsk, Russia. We classified participants’ drinking status into non-drinking, non-problem drinking, hazardous drinking, and harmful drinking based on their self-reported drinking behaviors. To evaluate physical performance, we developed a Composite Physical Performance Scale (CPPS), which combined the results of three functional tests: grip strength (GS), closed-eyes balance, and chair rises (CR). We applied multivariable linear regression to assess the relationship between alcohol consumption and CPPS score, and ordinal logistic regression to explore the associations between alcohol consumption and the three functional tests separately. The results showed that harmful drinking was associated with lower CPPS scores compared to non-problem drinking. Among harmful drinking men, the decrease in CPPS scores was explained by all three tests equally and exceptionally by GS among women. Non-drinking was also associated with decreased CPPS, linked to lower GS and CR scores in men, and only lower GS scores in women. The study revealed a reduced physical performance in the non-drinking and harmful drinking groups compared to non-problem drinking.
