“…The APM is the only muscle in the body that can be directly measured by a fast, easy, low‐cost, and noninvasive method. Two studies have used this method as a tool to predict morbidity and mortality in postoperative and hemodialysis patients 7 , 8 and one in critically ill patients 2 . The purpose of this study was to determine whether the APM thickness (APMT) correlates with (1) mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients and (2) other anthropometric parameters.…”

“…In addition to disorders inherent to the musculoskeletal system, low handgrip strength has also been associated with changes in nutritional status 8 , post-surgical clinical complications 9 , length of hospital stay 10 , various chronic diseases 11,12 , and mortality 13 , although the mechanisms of these associations are not well understood.…”

Este estudo objetivou analisar a associação da força de preensão manual com morbidades referidas e multimorbidade em adultos de Rio Branco, Acre, Brasil, mediante inquérito de base populacional com 1.395 adultos de ambos os sexos. As associações, por sexo, foram estimadas com a técnica de regressão logística. A média de força de preensão manual nos homens (44,8kg) é maior que entre as mulheres (29kg) e reduz com a idade. A diferença da força de preensão manual média entre aqueles classificados como fortes e fracos foi 21kg e 15,5kg, para homens e mulheres, respectivamente. Controlando para a faixa etária, índice de massa corporal e atividade física quando relevante, homens com baixa força de preensão manual tiveram maiores chances de ocorrência de hipertensão [OR = 2,21 (1,35; 3,61)], diabetes [OR = 4,18 (1,35; 12,95)], distúrbio musculoesquelético [OR = 1,67 (1,07; 2,61)] e multimorbidade [OR = 1,99 (1,27; 3,12)]. Nas mulheres, associações entre força de preensão manual e evento cardiovascular, dislipidemia, distúrbio muscolesquelético e multimorbidade não se mantiveram nos modelos multivariados. Este estudo endossa o uso da força de preensão manual como biomarcador de saúde.

“…Generally, boys showed higher muscular strength than girls (left and right handgrip and arm hang) [2], though in another study [25] no significant difference between genders was observed. The grip strength was reported to be higher in the dominant hand but no such significant differences between genders could have been documented [26] as in the current study, in which boys had significantly higher handgrip and arm hang strength than girls.…”

“…It increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases among children and adults in the developed and developing countries [2][3][4][5]. body mass index (bMI) has been used widely as an indicator for malnutrition, although it has been recently argued that bMI reflects also the relative leg length, body frame size, and fat free mass in addition to fatness [6,7].…”

Purpose. Handgrip strength and arm hang have been recognized as predictors of muscle strength and presented as biomarkers for important health outcomes and overall fitness of an individual. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between arm hang and handgrip strength with bMI and skinfold thickness. Method. The total of 769 children (391 boys and 378 girls) aged 9-15 years underwent a series of anthropometric and strength measurements with the use of standard procedures. Linear regression was applied to assess the relationship of arm hang and handgrip strengths with body mass index and skinfold thickness.Results. The prevalence of undernutrition and low strength measurements was high (1.7-85%) while the prevalence of overweight and obesity was low (1.5-4.2%) in the Ellisras children aged 9-15 years. boys showed a significantly higher (p < 0.05) mean arm hang (9.6-13.1 kg) than girls (4.0-5.1 kg) aged 11-15 years. There was a significant (p < 0.05) association between low strength and underweight among Ellisras rural children when unadjusted (Or = 0.650; 95% cI = 0.487-0.867) and adjusted (Or = 0.650; 95% cI = 0.489-0.868) for age and gender. Conclusions. The prevalence of undernutrition and poor strength was high. An association was observed between arm hang and anthropometric indicators while handgrip showed no significant association with anthropometric indicators. Further studies are needed to investigate the association between strength and undernutrition over time.
