A longitudinal study of handgrip strength asymmetry

American Journal of Human Biology, 2022
AbstractObjectiveThe previous results from cross‐sectional studies indicate that there could be alterations across time in handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry. One way to investigate this is to test the same children multiple times. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the laterality of HGS in healthy young children at two different time points separated by a

Handgrip Strength and Health in Aging Adults

Sports Medicine, 2018
Handgrip strength (HGS) is often used as an indicator of overall muscle strength for aging adults, and low HGS is associated with a variety of poor health outcomes including chronic morbidities, functional disabilities, and all-cause mortality. As public health initiatives and programs target the preservation of muscle strength for aging adults, it is ...

Are Mid-Dialysis Handgrip Strength Measurements Reliable and Reproducible? A Comparison to Predialysis Handgrip Strength Measurements

Journal of Renal Nutrition
Handgrip strength (HGS) is an important predictor of nutritional status. Current guidelines recommend measurement of HGS predialysis; however, this may be impractical, and measurement often occurs during hemodialysis (HD). This study aimed to determine the reliability, reproducibility, and agreement of HGS values pre- and mid-dialysis.Participants were
