How Should Adult Handgrip Strength Be Normalized? Allometry Reveals New Insights and Associated Reference Curves

Alan M. Nevill et al.

Summary: Handgrip strength (HGS) is an important indicator of health. This study aimed to identify the optimal body size dimension to normalize HGS and generate norm-referenced centiles. The findings suggest that cross-sectional or surface area measure of body size, particularly height squared, is the most appropriate dimension to normalize HGS.
