Anyone older than eighteen (18) is eligible to take the hand-gripping test. This test determines whether your hand grip is weak because of sarcopenia as part of a preventive health checkup, i.e., muscles, strength, and power. Many diseases are associated with muscle loss. It might be linked to illnesses related to the heart. As a result, finishing a grip test is crucial.

According to the study, 44-year-old Indian men should have a hand grip of at least 27.5 kg. However, it weighs 18 kg for women. Men are considered to have weak muscles if their hand grip strength is less than 27.5 kg. You ought to exercise caution in such circumstances.
