Agreement between methods of operationalizing grip strength is modest.
Practitioners should be cautious about the variability in grip strength measurements when assessing sarcopenia.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
Agreement between methods of operationalizing grip strength was between 0.10-0.80 for grip strength alone and 0.45-0.91 when combined with gait speed.
Why this rating
Based on the statistical analysis of agreement.
