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.
