Abstract

The handgrip force of both hands was measured in 1056 men and 638 women representing Arab population of Kuwait. The right and left handgrip forces were highly correlated, the correlation coefficients being 0.889 in men and 0.853 in women. The relation between the total force sum (sum of forces of both hands) and age could be approximated by a quadratic regression: y = a + 1.810x - 0.0289x(square), where a was 49.53 in men and 17.03 in women. The right-left difference of forces was independent of age and was 2.59+/-4.07 in men and 1.78+/-3.03 in women. Verf.-Referat
