“…The factors such as gender and age are the most studied and highly recommended in the evaluation of HGS [14,21,[23][24][25][26]. In this study the data found suggest an association with the lower HGS in oncological female's patients.…”

“…More recently, a longitudinal cohort study in the elderly, without cancer, of both sexes, showed that the mean of the HGS declined progressively with age and, women presented lower values of HGS compared to the elderly men [27]. Additionally, scientific evidence demonstrates the existence of a multitude of parameters that influence HGS such as height, hand size, arm muscle circumference, thumb adductor muscle thickness, and body weight [23][24][25][26]. Thus, it is important to consider several variables in the evaluation of the association between HGS and malnutrition.…”

ResultsThis study evaluated 76 patients (56±17 years old, 35.5% female), 63.2% with Solid Tumors and 36.8% with Hematologic Tumors. According to the Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment, 53.9% of the patients were moderately and severely malnourished and demonstrated functional capacity, according to the Handgrip Strength and Performance Index of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, of 47.9% and 32.2%, respectively. The functional capacity instruments showed a moderate agreement (Kappa=0.427, p<0.001) and positive correlation (r=0.136, p=0.028). Severely malnourished patients had a lower Handgrip Strength when compared to well nourished (24.0±10.4 vs. 34.2±16.6kg, p=0.015). The results were confi rmed among moderately and severely malnourished patients, who were rated at the 40 percentile, considered low functional capacity. Revista de NutriçãoRev.

“…No presente estudo, não foi observada diferença da FPP entre os valores obtidos na mão dominante e na não dominante tanto no GP quanto no GC, de modo que a mão dominante foi adotada como referência. 15 Devido ao fato dos múscu-los respiratórios e apendiculares serem ambos estriados esqueléticos em sua constituição histológica e de haver redução temporária das ABVD nas puérperas havia a hipótese de que pudesse haver associação entre a força de preensão palmar e a força muscular respiratória, o que não foi evidenciado.…”

“…Another solution would be to measure the grip strength in the contralateral hand and compare those results with that of the injured hand [10]. This however gives rise to a number of problems, namely that the grip strength in the dominant hand would be significantly higher than in the non-dominant hand [11,12]. However in different cases it would seem that only right handed individuals have a significantly higher grip strength in the dominant hand [13][14][15][16].…”

BackgroundThere are few studies that comprehensively explore a large scale of variables within one study population to correctly determine the variables that are truly significant in determining grip and pinch strength. Furthermore studies that have been conducted on this subject mostly offer conflicting reports and are based on different geographical populations. The goal of this study is to explore a large scale of variables and their relationship to grip and pinch strength and to establish reference values to help clinicians asses loss of grip and pinch strength in patients. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 309 participants between 18 and 80 with at least one healthy upper extremity. The grip and pinch strength was measured using a Jamar hand dynamometer in position two and a Jamar hydraulic pinch gauge. Results & ConclusionA total of 309 participants were included in this study, 152 (49.2%) males and 157 (50.8%) females between the age of 18 and 80 years old. Linear regression analysis reveals a varying set of variables significantly associated with grip and pinch strength (p ≤ 0.05). For grip strength, these are age, sex, height, weight, and thickest forearm circumference, while for pinch strength these are sex, weight, thickest forearm circumference, and hand length.
