Grip strength reference values for Canadians aged 6 to 79: Canadian Health Measures Survey, 2007 to 2013 - The purpose of this analysis was to use data from the 2007-to-2013 Canadian Health Measures Survey to develop reference equations for maximum, right-hand and left-hand grip strength for Canadians aged 6 to79, based on a healthy, nationally representative population. These equations can be used to determine reference values against which to assess an individual’s grip strength.

Reduced muscular strength among Canadians aged 60 to 79: Canadian Health Measures Survey, 2007 to 2013 - Data on grip strength among 3,181 respondents aged 60 to 79 from the 2007 to 2013 Canadian Health Measures Survey were used to compare the prevalence of reduced muscular strength based on percentile, t-score and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health grip strength cut-points, and examine associations between reduced strength and impaired mobility, self-rated health, and disability.
