“…Han et al (17) have reported that the mean HGS using 515 healthy participants (234 men and 281 women) between 10 and 84 years was 41.8 kg in men and 25.2 kg in women. Lee et al (18) have reported that the mean HGS using 479 healthy participants (248 men and 231 women) between 20 and 74 years was 40.8 kg in men and 25.1 kg in women. Although measurement methods, instrument, and participant's demographics were diverse in most studies, these studies all showed that HGSs had ethnic differences.…”

2017

The purpose of this study was to report age- and gender-specific distribution of the hand grip strength (HGS) using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) VI-3 (2015) survey and determine cut-off values for low muscle strength of HGS of Koreans. Of a total of 7,380 participants, 4,553 were subjected to measurements of HGS, including 1,997 men and 2,556 women with a mean age of 49.3 years (range, 19–80 years). The mean ages of men and women were 49.0 and 49.5 years, respectively. HGS was measured using a digital hand dynamometer. It was defined as maximal measured grip strength of the dominant hand. The cut-off value for low muscle strength was defined as the lower 20th percentile of HGS of the study population. Maximum grip strength of men was significantly higher than that of women (40.2 kg in men vs. 24.2 kg in women, P < 0.001). The mean HGS was increased from the age of 19 to 39 years. It was peaked in the age of 35 to 39 years range for both men and women. It was then decreased after 39 years. The cut-off values of HGS in male and female elderly healthy populations were 28.6 and 16.4 kg, respectively. These data might be used as reference values when evaluating sarcopenia and assessing hand injuries.

“…There have been several normative value measurements of HGS for Korean (Table 3). [51,[63][64][65][66] However, there were few reports considering the definition of low HGS. Among the data published in Korea, Kim et al [66] reported the largest normative data with 11,073 subjects (age 10-80 years) based on the Sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2014 to 2015.…”

Measurement and Interpretation of Handgrip Strength for Research on Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Handgrip strength (HGS) is associated with several chronic diseases, cognitive decline, length of hospital-stay, and mortality. More importantly, HGS is one of the diagnostic criteria of sarcopenia and gaining attention because of its relevance to bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporotic fractures. As the measurement of HGS is widely used in clinical practice as well as in research, its accurate measurement and interpretation are becoming more crucial. This review describes how to use different types of dynamometers accurately, the impact of body and arm positions and anthropometric parameters on HGS, the current reference values of HGS for sarcopenia research, and the updates on the relationship between HGS and BMD and osteoporotic fractures.

“…Modern individuals’ interest in health is persistently increasing owing to the improvement in education level and economic leeway, and several studies related to health have been reported [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Systemic diseases, including chronic diseases, frequently occur in individuals [ 4 ] and are becoming increasingly important for general health.…”

This study aimed to verify the relationship between handgrip strength and oral health using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, representing Korean adults. Data from the seventh survey (2016–2018) conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were utilized, and 10,607 final study participants were recruited according to the selection and exclusion criteria. A complex sample logistic regression analysis was performed to confirm the relationship between handgrip strength and dental caries according to the sex of the study participants. On analyzing the correlation in men, “C1 (DMFT: 11–32),” when compared to “C4 (DMFT: 0–3),” in Model 1 without adjustment for potential confounders, was 2.92 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.15–3.97) times more likely to be associated with lower handgrip strength, and a statistically significant result was detected (p < 0.001). Additionally, significant odds ratios (ORs) were confirmed for all adjusted models. In women, the ORs in Model 1 without adjustment for potential confounders were 1.41 times (95% CI: 1.14–1.75) and demonstrated a significant result; however, the results were not significant in all adjusted models 2–4. Resultantly, a significant association was detected between dental caries and handgrip strength in Korean adults.
