Brief Summary

In this study, our aim is to determine the reference values for the handgrip force and bioimpedance values in healthy Turkish children.

Conditions

Sarcopenia; Child Development

Keywords

children; muscle strength; bioimpedance

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• handgrip strength

  Handgrip strength will be measured using a Jamar hand grip dynamometer (Model 5030J1, Sammons Preston Rolyan, Bolingbrook, Illinois, USA). Measurements will be taken 3 times in a sitting position with the elbow flexed to 90° and the wrist in neutral position. The measured maximal grip strength will be recorded as hand grip strength.

  1 interview day

• calf circumference

  Calf circumference is an anthropometric measurement that indicates fatfree muscle mass and has been considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) the most sensitive index for evaluating the decrease in muscle mass. Calf circumference will be measured with an elastic band over the subject's right leg, both sitting and standing.

  1 interview day

• Body Mass Index (BMI)

  BMI will be calculated as weight (kg) divided by height2 (m2)

  1 interview day

• Skeletal muscle mass

  Skeletal muscle mass will be evaluated using a Tanita DC-360 multi-frequency body composition analysis device.
