Low relative hand grip strength is associated with a higher risk for diabetes and impaired fasting glucose among the Korean population
2022
Overview
Objective This study investigated the association between relative hand grip strength (HGS) and glycemic status, such as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and diabetes, using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Methods We performed a cross-sectional study using the data from the KNHANES of 27,894 individuals from 2014 to 2019. Relative HGS was defined as the absolute HGS divided by body mass index and divided into quartiles in men and women. Odds ratios (OR) for diabetes and IFG were calculated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. All analyses were stratified by sex, and subgroup analysis was age-stratified. Results The lowest relative HGS quartile had a significant increase in the risk for diabetes (men: OR 2.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.12–3.50; women: OR 3.38, 95% CI 2.70–4.24) and IFG (men: OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.15–1.59; women: OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.40–1.84). The ORs for diabetes and IFG according to the decreasing quartiles of relative HGS gradually increased in both sexes (P for trend <0.001). ORs and 95% CI of the lowest relative HGS quartile for diabetes were higher in the younger age group than that of the older age group (men: 4.47 and 2.80–7.14 for young adults; 2.41 and 1.37–4.25 for older adults; women: 5.91 and 3.06–9.38 for young adults; 1.47 and 0.92–2.33 for older adults). ORs and 95% CI for IFG was similar with the trend of ORs for diabetes (men: 1.80 and 1.43–2.26 for young adults; 1.17 and 0.75–1.84 for older adults; women: 2.20 and 1.77–2.72 for young adults; 1.33 and 0.86–2.07 for older adults). Conclusion Lower relative HGS was associated with a higher risk of not only diabetes but also IFG in both sexes. These trends were stronger in younger adults than in older adults.
