Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective was to explore relationship between skinfold measurement at multiple sites, hand grip strength, and trunk muscle strength (flexors and extensors) in healthy participants. Conclusion: There is a moderate association between hand grip strength, T score and trunk muscle strength, evident from the present research. Though no such association was seen for skinfold measurement.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objectives: The main objective was to explore relationship between skinfold measurement at multiple sites, hand grip strength, and trunk muscle strength (flexors and extensors) in healthy participants. Methods: Cross-sectional design, randomly recruited 40 participants. Finally only 39 participants were included. Measurements for demographic variable and anthropometric variables were done. Then the evaluation for hand grip strength and skin fold was done. Data Analysis: Quantitative variables were designated using means and standard deviations, and qualitative variables described by frequencies. The Repeated measure for Analysis of Variance (RANOVA) was used to analyse whether there was statistically significant interaction between the two groups (smoking vs non-smokers). The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to measure associations of anthropometric traits with grip strength. Multiple linear regression model was also carried to explore the linear relationship between dependent and independent variables.

Young Adults

Skinfold thickness (SFT) at multiple marked sites on biceps, triceps, subscapular and suprailiac areas using a Harpenden Caliper (Baty, UK) for the non-dominant side.

Hand grip strength measurement Jamar Hydraulic Dynamometers (Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer Fabrication Enterprises Inc, NY) was used as the evaluation tool for measuring grip.

The handgrip measurement was carried out as per the recommendations laid by The National Institute of Health Research (NIHR).

The T score for hand grip strength was also calculated. Also the mean predicted handgrip strength for given height was calculated foe the given height Trunk muscle strength testing was done. An analogue hydraulic push-pull dynamometer (Model: FEI-12-0394) was used to evaluate. The trunk extensor and flexor muscle strength was evaluated using and was recorded in pounds (lbs.).
