... The study conducted by Miyatake et al (22) included height, body weight, abdominal circumference, hip circumference, and percentage of body fat. In Colombia, some peer-reviewed and nonrefereed publications have been reported showing methodological designs aimed at determining the relationship between grip strength associating them with variables such as height, weight, age, gender, and manual dominance (6,(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30). However, these studies are isolated and conducted in different regions of the country, employing varying methodologies and measuring instruments. ...
... The study of grip strength has been widely investigated in populations from various countries (1,3,7,9,13,15,22,36,37). However, studies on the Colombian population have been developed using different methodologies, which naturally impact the objectives and conclusions (6,(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30), additionally they seek to characterize the population in terms of strength development. The study proposed here was carried out considering the use of a single methodology, the dominance of the hand, the anthropometric dimensioning of the dominant hand, and variables such as weight, height and age of the participants. ...
Background: Handgrip strength (HGS) has been extensively studied for its clinical and industrial significance, often linked to anthropometric measures like height, weight, and hand dimensions. In Colombia, research on these correlations exists but is fragmented and methodologically varied, limiting the ability to generalize findings. This lack of standardization highlights the need for a unified approach. This study aimed to address this gap by analyzing HGS in the Colombian context. Methods: Overall, 678 subjects (48.9% female and 51.1% male) were enrolled in 2022. They were aged between 18 and 63 yr old, apparently healthy, and were from Bogota, Colombia. It was measured using a Jamar dynamometer. To determine the seven variables of the hand, the posture recommended by the ASHT was followed. Results: Men had significantly higher HGS than women. The dominant hand represents 94.6% of females and 90.5% of males. However, dominance does not have a negative impact on gender when it is analyzed alone. The use of predictive models with cubic regressions permitted us to establish significant variables such as gender and hand width for the right hand and gender, age, hand thickness, and maximum palmar length for the left hand. Conclusion: The predictive models, the HGS relationship and the dimensions of the hand are evidenced, but in future studies it will be necessary to include the arm, forearm, and wrist sections to the methodology.
... 10][17][18][19][20][21][22] . Sin embargo, son estudios aislados, de diferentes regiones del país, y que adicionalmente utilizan diferentes metodologías y equipos para dimensionar la fuerza lo cual no permite una unificación ni generalización de resultados en el momento de pensar en la población colombiana a nivel general ni tampoco a nivel específico. ...
The evaluation of the force in the hand is used in health and labor fields; it is composed of the grip force and the pinch force (Palmar Pinch - PP and Key Pinch - KP). The pinch force has not had significant amount of studies and connections with anthropometric variables. This work aimed to determine the relationship between the PP and KP strength with gender, dominance, age, and anthropometric variables. Using a Jamar dynamometer and with the participation of 681 subjects apparently healthy (48.9 % F and 51.1 % M) from the City of Bogotá (Colombia), who performed different occupational activities, it was found that the PP and KP forces were significantly higher in men than in women both in the non-dominant hand (8.27 Kgf Vs. 6.0 Kgf) and in the dominant hand (8.57 Kgf Vs 6.27 Kgf). The predictive models proposed in this study defined age, thickness, circumference, and maximum circumference of the hand as the main variables. In the female gender, age was established as the primary variable. At the same time, in the male, the circumference of the hand was defined in two models, and the maximum circumference of the hand in another two.
... Adicional vale la pena mencionar el tema muscular, ya que existe una diferencia en las fibras musculares importante en cada sexo, debido a que el hombre biológicamente, tiene una mayor capacidad de realizar tareas o actividades que impliquen mayor fuerza con respecto a la mujer, por tanto, la fuerza en los agarres es consistentemente mayor en hombres que en las mujeres, debido muy posiblemente por la mayor masa muscular de estos (35)(36)(37). ...
Introducción: El trabajo repetitivo está directamente relacionado con la aparición de lesiones osteomusculares, algunas de estas son ocasionadas por falta de fuerza y otras por procesos de inactividad física que conllevan al deterioro de las capacidades físicas condicionales del trabajador. Métodos: Estudio cross-sectional, que incluyó a trabajadores del sector textil ubicados en la ciudad de Medellín. Las variables fueron sociodemográficas, antropomórficas, fuerza prensil y niveles de actividad física. Se condujo regresión logística binaria, y se calcularon razones de prevalencia. Resultados: Se evidencio que el 87.5 % de la población de estudio presentaba una fuerza prensil calificada como mala (Punto de corte de 22.5 kg para mujeres y 30 kg para los hombres según fabricante), a pesar de desempeñarse en labores manuales, esta mala fuerza se asoció a el sexo femenino, a ser obeso, no cumplir con niveles mínimos de actividad física y a presencia de lesiones de miembro superior. Conclusiones: La fuerza prensil es una medida que puede ser utilizada como predictor de aparición de lesiones en miembro superior, para la implementación de programas de prevención de riesgos osteomusculares en trabajadores de manejo de carga.
