ABOUT GRIP STRENGTH NORMS

MEASUREMENT

Results assume a handheld dynamometer measured in kilograms. Enter your best single maximal effort, typically from your dominant hand.

WHY IT MATTERS

Grip strength is a widely studied indicator of general muscular function and is tracked across the lifespan in large population studies.

AGE AND SEX

Grip strength differs by sex and changes with age, so your result is compared within your own sex and age band.
