Genetics of hand grip strength in mid to late life [PDF]
AGE, 2015 Hand grip strength (GS) is a predictor of mortality in older adults and is moderately to highly heritable, but no genetic variants have been consistently identified. We aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with GS in middle-aged to older adults using a genome-wide association study (GWAS).

Optimal Handle Grip Span for Maximum Hand Grip Strength and Accurate Grip Control Strength Exertion According to Individual Hand Size [PDF]
Journal of Osteoporosis and Physical Activity, 2016 Background: Hand grip strength (HGS) and grip control strength (GCS) are two predictors of upper-extremity function to undertake activities of daily living. Numerous studies have indicated that hand size and handle diameter independently affect HGS. However, none has explored the effects of matching hand size to optimal grip span on ergonomic outcomes.
