Resumo

Background: To examine the association of handgrip strength (HGS) and bone mineral density (BMD) of Brazilian children and adolescents. Methods: The sample included 243 children and adolescents aged from 4 to 15years (9.3 +/- 2.2years), 171 males and 72 females. The following measurements were performed: weight, height, trunk length, and years to the peak height velocity (PHV). The percentage lean soft tissue (PLST), percentage fat mass (PFM), and BMD were obtained using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and HGS using a dynamometer. Results: In girls, HGS was positively associated with higher BMD, even after the adjustments, by arms [beta=0.006; p <0.001], legs [beta=0.014; p <0.001], pelvis [beta=0.019; p<0.001], trunk [beta=0.013; p<0.001], spine [beta=0.013; p =0.008], and total body [beta=0.009; p<0.001]. The same occurred in the boys, even after the adjustments a positive relationship was observed, whereas higher HGS was related to greater BMD in arms [beta=0.006; p<0.001], legs [beta=0.017; p<0.001], pelvis [beta=0.014; p<0.001], trunk [beta=0.009; p<0.001], spine [beta=0.008; p<0.001], and total body [beta=0.007; p<0.001]. Conclusion: HGS was positively associated to BMD in boys and girls, regardless of age, PHV, PLST, and PFM. (AU)
