Combined adductor pollicis muscle thickness and handgrip strength as predictive indicators for risk stratification of low muscle mass and low bone mass in adult women

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to determine whether the combined assessment of handgrip strength (HGS) and adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) could effectively identify adult women at higher risk for low muscle mass and low bone mass. Their findings indicate that both HGS and APMT are independently associated with musculoskeletal health, and their combination significantly enhances risk stratification, suggesting a practical approach for preliminary assessments in settings with limited access to advanced diagnostic tools.
