Low Muscle Strength Thresholds for the Detection of Cardiometabolic Risk in Adolescents

Introduction There is an association between strength and health among adolescents, yet, what remains to be determined is sex-specific cut points for low strength in the detection of risk in this population. The purpose of this study was to determine thresholds of low grip strength in a large cohort (N=1,326) of adolescents. Methods All data were collected between 2005 and 2008, and analyzed in 2014−2015. A cardiometabolic risk score (MetScore)...
