The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between HGS and lung function in both healthy and unhealthy adults.  \nMethod: A systematic search was conducted using six databases from their earliest inception to February 29th, 2020. Two authors reviewed and assessed methodological quality of eligible studies using the Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool (CCAT) .  \nResults: Twenty-five studies met the inclusion criteria with 8 and 17 studies examining healthy and unhealthy populations, respectively. Reported average methodological quality of all included studies using the CCAT was 38-85% with most rated as Good to Excellent. Despite the use of heterogeneous equipment and protocols during HGS and lung function assessments, significant positive and moderate correlations and/or regression coefficients were reported for healthy populations consistently. Conversely, the reported relationships between HGS and lung function for unhealthy counterparts were variable.  \nConclusion: Handgrip strength was significantly associated with lung function in most healthy adults. Future robust studies are needed to confirm the suitability of HGS to assess lung function for healthy and unhealthy adults.  \nKeywords: Respiratory function tests; muscle strength; relationship; adults; systematic  \nreview.  \nIntroduction  \nHandgrip strength (HGS) is a functional and inexpensive test that assesses the global muscle strength of an individual (da Silva et al., 2017; Porto et al., 2019) as well as a potential indicator of overall health outcomes (McGrath, Kraemer, Snih and Peterson, 2018) . Poor HGS was related to the presence of low back pain in physically inactive women aged over 50 years (Park et al., 2018), greater incidence of hip fractures in the elderly (Denk, Lennon, Gordon and Jaarsma, 2018) and associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular deaths in some countries and populations (Leong et al., 2015) . Collectively, HGS strength has been associated with poor indicators of health, however, its use as a monitoring tool for disease progression indices has received limited attention.  \nThis limited focus could be attributed to the small number of studies conducted to date, which reported inconsistent relationships between ","cbCaibbAbbGT06Yq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibbAbbGT06Yq","pdf",696217,57,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Method\n## Results\n## Conclusion\n# Introduction\n## Rationale for HGS and lung function assessment\n# Method\n## Systematic review framework (PROSPERO, PRISMA)\n## Search strategy and study selection","[{\"question\":\"What was the main objective of the systematic review?\",\"answer\":\"To identify the relationship between handgrip strength (HGS) and lung function in both healthy and unhealthy adults.\"},{\"question\":\"How were studies searched and assessed for quality?\",\"answer\":\"The review used a systematic search in six databases up to February 29, 2020, and methodological quality was assessed by two authors using the Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool (CCAT).\"},{\"question\":\"What did the results show about the relationship between HGS and lung function?\",\"answer\":\"In healthy populations, significant positive and moderate correlations/regression coefficients were consistently reported, while relationships in unhealthy counterparts were variable.\"}]","Relationship between handgrip strength and lung function in adults - A systematic review | PDF",1791024861,144]
