Association of handgrip strength with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in US adults: the national health and nutrition examination survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Aimed to find the cut-off point of handgrip strength and it's association with MetS.

Results

The relative handgrip strength was negatively associated with the prevalence of MetS. Of note, the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) across tertiles of relative handgrip strength were 1 (reference), 0.45 (0.33, 0.62), and 0.13 (0.08, 0.20) in male participants after adjusting for demographic factors, calorie intake, and physical activity. Similar results were observed in female participants. The cutoff values of relative handgrip strength for male and female participants were 0.52 and 0.40, respectively.

Conclusions

Findings of this study suggest that a strong relationship exists between handgrip strength and prevalence of MetS in US adults, regar
