Grip strength, body composition, and mortality [PDF]
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2006 Several studies in older people have shown that grip strength predicts all-cause mortality. The mechanisms are unclear. Muscle strength declines with age, accompanied by a loss of muscle mass and an increase in fat, but the role that body composition plays in the association between grip strength and mortality has been little explored.

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1979 The normal grip strength was determined with the Martin Vigorimeter in 450 men and women aged 21--65 years. The grip strength decreased steadily with increasing age. Men were stronger than women and in both sexes the dominant hand was the strongest. The ratio dominant/non-dominant hand varied only slightly with age and sex and it could thus be a useful
