Abstract

Background: Hand Grip Strength (HGS), a basic, non-invasive measure of musculoskeletal function is found to be a risk marker for cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. Considering the importance and paucity of studies among industrial workers, we aim to study the association between anthropometric adiposity indices and the HGS of industrial workers.

Materials and methods: The study is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. Anthropometric measurements and HGS of 198 male industrial workers between 21 and 60 years of age, employed at metal manufacturing industries in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India were assessed.

Statistical analysis: Descriptive and inferential statistics were done using "R" statistical software.

Results: The mean age of male industrial workers was 39.51 ± 12.20 years. The majority of the workers were found to be obese (64%) and the mean body fat percentage was 27.69 ± 5.13%. The mean HGS of the worker's dominant hand was found to be 35.80 ± 8.93 kg and of their non-dominant hand was 35.0 ± 8.67 kg. When compared to the normative values of HGS for Indians, results revealed significantly higher HGS of both dominant and non-dominant hands of workers between the age group of 21-30 years and 51-60 years. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that body weight [β(s.e) =0.27 (0.05), P < 0.000], body fat [β(s.e) = -0.52 (0.14), P < 0.000) and WHR [β(s.e) = -28.81 (11.9), P = 0.017] independently predicted the HGS of dominant hand. In non-dominant hand, body weight [β(s.e) = 0.26 (0.05), P < 0.000] and body fat [β(s.e) = -0.60 (0.13), P < 0.000] independently predicted HGS.

Conclusions: Body fat, body weight, and Waist-to-Hip ratio (WHR) were found to have a significant influence on the HGS of industrial workers. Strategies aimed to reduce overall body fat and abdominal obesity may prove beneficial in improving HGS and nutritional status thereby reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases.

印度泰米尔纳德邦钦奈男性产业工人的人体测量肥胖指数与手部握力的关系:一项横断面研究。
背景:手握力(HGS)是肌肉骨骼功能的一种基本无创测量方法,被认为是心血管疾病、呼吸系统疾病、糖尿病、代谢综合征和癌症的风险标志。考虑到对产业工人进行研究的重要性和缺乏性,我们旨在研究产业工人的人体测量脂肪指数与 HGS 之间的关联:本研究为描述性横断面研究。对印度泰米尔纳德邦金奈市金属制造业中 198 名 21 至 60 岁男性产业工人的人体测量和 HGS 进行了评估:统计分析:使用 "R "统计软件进行描述性和推断性统计:男性产业工人的平均年龄为 39.51 ± 12.20 岁。大多数工人为肥胖(64%),平均体脂率为 27.69 ± 5.13%。工人惯用手的平均 HGS 为 35.80 ± 8.93 千克,非惯用手为 35.0 ± 8.67 千克。与印度人的 HGS 常模值相比,结果显示 21-30 岁和 51-60 岁年龄组工人的惯用手和非惯用手的 HGS 均明显偏高。多元线性回归分析表明,体重[β(s.e) =0.27 (0.05),P < 0.000]、体脂[β(s.e) = -0.52 (0.14),P < 0.000]和WHR[β(s.e) = -28.81 (11.9),P = 0.017]可独立预测优势手的HGS。在非惯用手中,体重[β(s.e) = 0.26 (0.05),P < 0.000]和体脂[β(s.e) = -0.60 (0.13),P < 0.000]独立预测 HGS:结论:研究发现,体脂、体重和腰臀比(WHR)对产业工人的 HGS 有显著影响。旨在减少总体体脂和腹部肥胖的策略可能有利于改善 HGS 和营养状况,从而降低罹患非传染性疾病的风险。
