Relevance of Grip Strength Measurement in Primary Care

Authors: Weiss Lisa, MD, Morcos Roy, MD, Patidar Risha, MD, Johnson Julianne, Morales Amanda, MS and Kellar Garrett, EdD, CCRP, RCEP

Abstract: Grip strength (GS) has been shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Despite significant interest and vast literature, the role, if any, of routine GS measurement in a primary care setting remains uncertain. GS was measured in an unselected group of adult patients presenting to a family medicine residency clinic. Results were correlated with age, sex, activity level, and clinical comorbidities as assessed by the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI).
