Abstract

The handgrip strength is considered an excellent predictor of morbidity and mortality for acute and long term outcomes In fact several studies showed that the reduced handgrip strength is correlated to allcause mortality in both middle aged and elderly subjects Nevertheless defined reference values of handgrip strength are not available especially from young and healthy populations The aim of this study was to determine the reference values for handgrip strength from a healthy population of young volunteers A secondary objective was to derivate a muscle function T score useful for adults and elderly individuals We enrolled 335 healthy university students 157 men and 178 females aged 19–25 years The handgrip strength was measured using a hydraulic hand dynamometer by trained dietitians The mean handgrip strength value was 2770 ± 43 kg for female and 4477 ± 66 kg for male We showed statistical difference between sexes We also found the lower T score in communitydwelling elderly individuals in comparison to the young people The muscle strength loss is a multifactorial process influenced by age and hormonal factors The availability of the reference values in both sexes might open the way to the diffusion of the handgrip strength assessment for more clinical use and it might be useful to identify people who could benefit from early nutritional or pharmacological programs
