Handgrip strength is relatively easy and fast to measure, and it has been widely used as a measure of muscle strength in various studies.

«The findings suggest that it may be justified to go beyond the handgrip and to include the upper and lower body when measuring muscle strength, as this may better reflect the association between muscle strength and cognition,» says Early Stage Researcher Heikki Pentikäinen, the first author of the article, who is currently preparing a PhD thesis on the topic for the University of Eastern Finland.

Handgrip strength, gait speed, and skeletal muscle mass were measured and other information collected, including exercise habits in middle age.

To understand the links between variables better, we investigated the correlations between measures of primary endpoint muscle mass (FFM and RSMM), strength (handgrip), inflammation (CRP), and quality of life (SF - 36 mental component summary and PCS), then between muscle mass (FFM and RSMM), strength (handgrip), function (ADL), and hormonal status (IGF - I).
