Abstract

Background: The present paper aimed to study handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry and its association with hypertension in a sample of Kathak dancers and non-dancers of North India.

Methods: Data on HGS and blood pressure were collected from 206 Kathak dancers and 235 age-matched controls, using standardized protocols. Pearson correlation coefficients assessed the association between HGS and hypertension, and binary logistic regression identified the risk of developing hypertension.

Results: HGS asymmetry was higher among non-dancers. In Kathak dancers, systolic blood pressure (SBP) was positively correlated with HGS and negatively correlated with HGS asymmetry whereas diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was negatively correlated with both HGS and HGS asymmetry. Dancers with high HGS, have significantly reduced risk of developing hypertension. Non-dancers with HGS asymmetry were 1.8 times more likely to report hypertension, relative to dancers.

Conclusion: Kathak may be used as an alternative method for maintaining HGS symmetry and reducing the risk of developing hypertension.

卡塔克是一种印度古典舞，它能保持手握力量的对称性，降低患高血压的风险。

背景：本文旨在研究北印度卡塔克舞者和非舞者样本的手握力（HGS）不对称及其与高血压的关系：本文旨在研究北印度卡塔克舞者和非舞者样本的手握力（HGS）不对称及其与高血压的关系：采用标准化方案收集了 206 名卡塔克舞者和 235 名年龄匹配对照者的 HGS 和血压数据。皮尔逊相关系数评估了 HGS 与高血压之间的关联，二元逻辑回归确定了患高血压的风险：结果：非舞蹈演员的 HGS 非对称性更高。在卡塔克舞者中，收缩压（SBP）与 HGS 呈正相关，与 HGS 不对称呈负相关，而舒张压（DBP）与 HGS 和 HGS 不对称均呈负相关。HGS 高的舞蹈演员患高血压的风险明显降低。与舞者相比，HGS 不对称的非舞者患高血压的几率是舞者的 1.8 倍：卡塔克舞可作为保持 HGS 对称性和降低高血压发病风险的替代方法。
