We determined the normative values of HGS and investigated its correlates in an urban community sample in Nigeria. We assessed 607 participants from the Vascular heAlth, fraiLty, and cognItion in Ageing Nigerians sTudy [VALIANT] - a population-based cohort of 1031 older persons in Ibadan, a city in Southwestern Nigeria. They were recruited through a multi-stage, stratified cluster random sampling method. HGS was defined as the highest recorded/maximum HGS (max. HGS) of both hands. The determinants (β coefficient, p values) of HGS were identified using linear regression model. The mean (SD) age of the participants was 64.6 (11.5) with 67.8 % females. The mean (SD) max. HGS (in kg) of the study population was 19.65±10.16 overall; 24.51(14.01) among males and 17.31(6.51) among females (p < 0.001). Overall, female sex (β=-6.38, p < 0.001), clinical frailty (β=-1.35, p < 0.001), and baseline MoCA scores (β=0.37, p 0.001) were independently associated with max. HGS. In the subgroup analysis, presence of hypertension (β=2.64, p < 0.001) and diabetes mellitus (β=-2.61, p 0.05) were independently associated with max. HGS among females, but not males. Our findings buttress the intricate link between overall physical, cardiometabolic as well as cognitive health in this unique West African population.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":1.0986122886681096,"endowment":1.0986122886681096,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"40906562","pmcid":"PMC12444469","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W4413939040","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"Alzheimer's Association","grant_id":"GBHI ALZ UK-21\\u2013724204","title":null},{"funder_name":"Global Brain Health Institute","grant_id":"unidentified","title":"unidentified"},{"funder_name":"Global Brain Health Institute","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":3,"fwci":1.3283,"citation_percentile":0.81731923,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2025,"count":1},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"gold","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tjfa.2025.100068","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tjfa.2025.100068","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S2260134125000593?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S2260134125000593?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40906562","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/12444469","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12444469/","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC12444469","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC12444469?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40906562/","host_type":""}],"fields_of_study":["Nutrition and Health in Aging","Cerebral Palsy and Movement Disorders","Body Composition Measurement Techniques","03 medical and health sciences","0302 clinical medicine","Humans","Male","Female","Nigeria","Hand Strength","Aged","Middle Aged","Geriatric Assessment","Frailty","Cohort Studies","Aged, 80 and over","Black People","Aging","African People"],"mesh_terms":["Frailty","African People","Aged","Aged, 80 and over","Aging","Female","Humans","Male","Middle Aged","Nigeria","Cohort Studies","Geriatric Assessment","Hand Strength","Black People"],"keywords":["Medicine","Grip strength","Cohort","Gerontology","Population","Physical therapy","Physical medicine and rehabilitation","Environmental health","Internal medicine","Physical fitness","Frailty","Physical Health","Muscular Strength","Lmics","Cognitive Health","Hand Grip Strength (Hgs)","Nigerian-Africans","Indigenous Africans","Male","Aged, 80 and over","African People","Aging","Hand Strength","Brief Report","Nigeria","Black People","Middle Aged","Cohort Studies","Humans","Female","Geriatric Assessment","Aged"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-30T05:14:54.398749Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
