Abstract
Introduction: Handgrip strength testing (HGS) has been widely used as a test to evaluate muscle function since the XIX century. From the 80's, researchers began to study its relationship with nutritional status, especially in the clinical setting. Nowadays, the test is considered as a sensible marker of nutritional status in hospitals. The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between handgrip strength and some anthropometric and physical status variables to determine its usefulness as a complementary tool in the outpatient assessment nutritional diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Ninety-two (92) students beneficiary of a food subsidy (46 men - 46 women), aged 17-37 years underwent a nutritional assessment by measuring weight, height, subcutaneous skin folds, waist circumference, Harvard bench step test, and HGS. Results and Discussion: A positive correlation was found between HGS and altered body mass index (r = 0.84) and with high fat mass percentage (r = 1.0) in men. In women these correlations were not significant (r = 0.07, -0.4). When analyzing the correlation between HGS and physical status by gender, the results were not conclusive. Conclusions: HGS could be a useful marker in nutritional assessment studies in young men, however, more studies are required to evaluate its usefulness in women.
