Correlation of Hand Grip Strength and Body Height Amongst Young Adults in Indonesia

Introduction: Hand grip strength (HGs) is an anthropometric measure of musculoskeletal performance, which might predict any functional limitation and disability. Increased body height (Ht) is arguably correlated to the increase in number and length of the muscle fibers may modify the HGs. We determi...

Level of significant was p< 0,05. Results: The correlation between Ht and HGs was moderate (r = 0.545, p < 0.05) for dominant hand and (r = 0.597, p < 0.05) non-dominant hand. There is no significant correlation between dominant HGs with Ht in males (r = -0,292, p 0,273) and females (r = -0.266, p 0,319), and also happens in non-dominant HGs with Ht in males (r = -0,396, p 0,129) and females (r = -0,005, p 0,985).
