ABSTRACT
Background:
Grip strength measurement is used to estimate muscle strength and predict health status; yet, an accurate examination of grip strength predictors from body composition variable is lacking.Objectives:
This study aimed to examine the association of grip strength with lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and total lean mass in adults without sarcopenia.Methods:
Adults without sarcopenia (N = 3100) were included from the NHANES, 2013-2014, in this cross-sectional study. Body mass (kg), body height (cm), body mass index (kg/m2), grip strength (kg), total percent fat (%), lumbar BMD (g/cm2), and total lean mass excluding bone mineral content (BMC, kg) were obtained and tested as predictors of grip strength.Results:
The regression analysis yielded a significant model [F(2,343732) = 71,284.2; R2 = 0.713; P < 0.001], with all predictors explaining â¼71.3% of the variance in grip strength. Age [ß -0.043; 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.040, -0.036], sex (ß -0.296; 95% CI -6.431, -6.270), total percent fat (ß -0.245; 95% CI -0.315, -0.308), lumbar BMD (ß 0.037; 95% CI 2.529, 2.806), and total lean mass (ß 0.482; 95% CI 0.001, 0.001) were all significant predictors of grip strength.Conclusions:
The predictive value of the BMD and total lean mass can serve as a useful measure in predicting grip strength and overall health status in adults without sarcopenia.
