Abstract

Introduction: The measurement of handgrip strength (HGS) is an indicator of an individual’s overall strength and can serve as a predictor of morbidity and mortality. Aims: To measure the relationship between Hand Grip Strength with anthropometric variables in healthy school going children between6-12 years. Materials & methods: The present cross-sectional study with 840 patients was based on 6 schools in the city of Hyderabad, from June 2020-Dec 2021 with School going children of age 6-12 years. Results: Males in all the 7 age groups were shown to have significantly higher hand grip strengths than the female children. There was gradual and significant increase in grip strength with age for both the genders (p <0.001). Height and weight were also positively correlated with hand grip strengths for both males as well as females (p<0.001). Conclusion: Hand grip strength measurements were shown to be positively and statistically correlating with age, height and weight
