Handgrip Strength as a Screening Tool for Diabetes in Resource-Constrained Settings: A Potential Solution to Overcome Barriers to Diagnosis
Diabetes mellitus is an escalating global health concern, especially in low and middle-income countries.
Handgrip strength (HGS), a measure of muscle strength, emerges as a potential non-invasive and affordable screening tool
for diabetes, particularly in areas with limited healthcare access. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between
HGS and blood glucose regulation in non-diabetic young adults and to provide valuable insights into the potential of HGS as
a preventive and affordable approach to managing diabetes.
