Hand grip strength (HGS) is recognized as a simple and cost-effective method for evaluating overall skeletal muscle strength and quality, and has been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and mortality. Measurement of HGS should be included in the assessment of T2D patients along with other basic measurements, and further research on the genetic association between skeletal muscle and T2D is necessary for individualized exercise therapy recommendations.
Introduction: Hand grip strength (HGS) has been determined as a simple and cost effective method for evaluating overall skeletal muscle strength and quality. It has been used in numerous clinical studies to examine the association between skeletal muscle and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Previous studies have shown that HGS is significantly associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with T2D. As the prevalence of T2D has seen a steady increase globally, HGS measurement can be useful and essential in managing T2D. Areas covered: This narrative review summarizes the current evidence regarding the association between HGS and T2D. HGS has been considered a useful tool for identifying risks for T2D, CVD, and mortality and evaluating skeletal muscle strength and quality. Opinion: HGS should be measured in all patients with T2D together with height, weight, and waist circumference. However, there is yet no standard method used in measuring for HGS. T2D patients with a low HGS can engage in resistance training more effectively with appropriate advice based on HGS. Future studies clarifying the genetic association between skeletal muscle and T2D are needed to provide individualized exercise therapy.
