Further normative values from this article

Posted by Richard_Dodds on 08 Sep 2015 at 16:03 GMT

In the paper we included the centile curves for grip strength and also a table of the centile values in 5-year intervals for males and females. We have had requests for the LMS values used to produce both of these so that other researchers can apply our British normative values to grip strength measurements in their own data.

We have produced a spreadsheet which contains the LMS values and also the formula used to calculate a Z-score for an individual measurement. The spreadsheet can be downloaded from:

We would be grateful for your feedback if you use these values. We would also ask that you cite the original paper if you do so.

Kind regards
