Employees Baylor University say: children with a weak grip of hands are much more likely to face health problems in the future. An experiment was conducted with the participation of 368 elementary school students.

Using a dynamometer, they measured the grip strength of both hands, and also assessed the state of health. About two years later, the children's health was re-evaluated. Initially, 27.9% of boys and 20.1% of girls were in the group of "weak".

For them, the risk of reducing the quality of health was three times higher than in children with normal strengths of the hands.

By the way, doctors already knew that muscle weakness, measured by the force of hand compression, is often a reliable indicator of health problems. True, usually talk about this only in relation to adults. In particular, the strength of the grip has often been associated with the risk of developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, an early death.
