Low handgrip strength (HGS) is a measure of poor skeletal muscle performance and a marker of ill health and frailty. Muscle quality (MQ) is a measure of muscle strength relative to muscle mass. We aimed to develop normative data for HGS and MQ, report age‐related prevalence of low HGS and MQ, and determine the relationship with age, anthropometry, and body composition for women in Australia.

澳大利亚女性的握力和肌肉质量：吉朗骨质疏松症研究的横截面数据。


低握力 (HGS) 是衡量骨骼肌性能不佳的指标，也是健康状况不佳和虚弱的标志。肌肉质量 (MQ) 是肌肉力量相对于肌肉质量的衡量标准。我们的目的是开发 HGS 和 MQ 的规范数据，报告与年龄相关的低 HGS 和 MQ 患病率，并确定澳大利亚女性与年龄、人体测量和身体成分的关系。
