Grip strength reveals clues to your overall health such as possible future illnesses -- and even help predict how long you'll live. Learn how to measure and improve it:
across continents and cultures
“I’m a former strength coach, so I wanted to make a case for why strength was important across populations, not just athletes,” he said. “I strongly believe in strength preservation and healthy living as a predictor for longevity.”. Because of Sweden’s post-World War II conscription policy, virtually every young male in the country underwent a physical examination to see if they were fit for military service -- an exam that included a grip-strength test.
Fast-forward to the 21st century where we must force ourselves to engage in physical activity even though science shows us again and again why it’s so important for health and longevity. The old rules still apply: Strength aids survival.a proxy for nutritional status Accelerated DNA methylation “means you’re essentially at higher risk for what are traditionally considered age-related chronic conditions,” Peterson said. Those conditions include Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, chronic inflammation, and a higher risk of premature mortality.
“It can be a nice tool for assessing muscle function and muscle strength,” he explained. Because the test is so easy to administer -- you sit in a chair with your arm at your side and your elbow bent 90 degrees, and squeeze the device as hard as you can -- researchers can work with large groups of people and come away with statistically powerful data.
That’s why his current research goes beyond simple tests of maximum grip strength to more sophisticated measurements of the rate of force development , repeatability , and asymmetry .In a 2020 study, for example, McGrath and his team at NDSU showed thatin grip-strength tests were nearly four times more likely to experience functional limitations. Those limitations could affect their ability to do anything from routine chores to keeping themselves clean and fed.
