Handgrip Strength Cannot Be Assumed a Proxy for Overall Muscle Strength [PDF]

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2018
Dynapenia, low muscle strength, is predictive for negative health outcomes and is usually expressed as handgrip strength (HGS). Whether HGS can be a proxy for overall muscle strength and whether this depends on age and health status is controversial.
