GRIP STRENGTH ASSESSMENT IN SEEKONK, MA & RI

Grip Your Health, Strengthen Your Future

Grip strength is a simple health indicator that estimates overall strength, muscle quality and is a key component of sarcopenia and frailty

Grip Strength & Muscle Quality

  • Low muscle strength is a powerful predictor of consequential health-related events. Those that have lower strength earlier in life often experience poor health outcomes later in life.

  • It has been shown that every 5-kilogram decrease in grip strength is associated with a 16% greater risk of death at 4-years of follow-up in adults.

  • Physical activity guidelines for Americans highlights the importance of muscle strength and recommend adults do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity and that involve all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week to improve overall strength, muscle quality and healthspan.
