Resumen
La fuerza de prensión de la mano ha sido ampliamente utilizada en diversas áreas de la medicina como un indicador de sarcopenia, estado nutricional, riesgo de enfermedades cognitivas, crónico-degenerativas y como predictor de mortalidad. Diversos estudios han evaluado la relación que existe entre la fuerza de prensión de la mano y la presión arterial, aunque los resultados no han sido concluyentes debido a que existen diversos factores comprobados que influyen en la fuerza de la mano. Por lo anterior, es relevante evaluar esta relación en población mexicana, ya que existen pocos estudios en este ámbito.
Abstract
Hand grip strength has been widely used in various areas of medicine as an indicator of sarcopenia, nutritional status, risk of cognitive diseases, chronic degenerative diseases and as a predictor of mortality. Several studies have evaluated the relationship between hand grip strength and blood pressure, even though the results have not been conclusive because there are several proven factors that influence hand strength. Therefore, it is relevant to evaluate this relationship in the Mexican population since there are few studies in this field.
