Dynapenic obesity and the risk of incident Type 2 diabetes: the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing [PDF]
, 2015 Aim Obesity is a well‐established risk factor for developing Type 2 diabetes. Evidence suggests that sarcopenia, the age‐related decline in muscle mass and strength, may exacerbate diabetes risk in obese individuals.

Association of handgrip strength with chronic diseases and multimorbidity - A cross-sectional study [PDF]
, 2013 The prevalence of chronic diseases has risen along with increased longevity. Co-occurrence of two or more chronic diseases in an individual (multimorbidity) is prevalent and poses a huge burden to individuals and the society.

Recommendations for Reducing Heterogeneity in Handgrip Strength Protocols
The Journal of Frailty & Aging, 2022 Handgrip dynamometers are widely used to measure handgrip strength (HGS). HGS is a safe and easy to obtain measure of strength capacity, and a reliable assessment of muscle function. Although HGS provides robust prognostic value and utility, several protocol variants exist for HGS in clinical settings and translational research.

Associations of Handgrip Strength and Handgrip Strength Asymmetry With Depression in the Elderly in Korea: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2021 Recent studies have suggested that assessing handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry together with HGS may be helpful for evaluating problems in geriatric patients. This study aimed to identify whether HGS asymmetry, weakness, or both were associated with depression in Korean older adults.This study included 4274 subjects from the sixth and seventh Korea ...

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Leads to Improvements in Handgrip Strength [PDF]
, 2016 Background: A reduction in skeletal muscle performance measured by handgrip strength is common in heart failure. No trial has investigated the role of cardiac resynchronization therapy, which leads to improvements in cardiac performance, on the ...
