Handgrip strength (HGS) research shows a significant upward trend, with a peak in 2025. This bibliometric analysis highlights global contributions and the strong link between HGS and sarcopenia research.

Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Musculoskeletal Health
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Handgrip strength (HGS) is a key indicator of overall health and functional status.
  • Understanding the research landscape of HGS is crucial for advancing clinical applications.
  • Bibliometric analysis provides insights into research trends, productivity, and global collaboration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of handgrip strength (HGS) research.
  • To identify publication trends, leading countries, institutions, journals, and authors in HGS research.
  • To examine the thematic focus of highly cited HGS publications.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic search of the Scopus database was performed on April 26, 2026.
  • Data from 1944 to 2026 were analyzed, including publication trends, country, institution, journal, author, and keyword distributions.

  • Linear regression was used to assess publication trends over time.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 12,221 publications were analyzed, with a significant upward trend in HGS research peaking in 2025.
    • The United States, Brazil, and China were the top contributing countries.
    • Nutrients, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, and PLOS One were the most prolific journals. Studies on sarcopenia diagnosis and treatment dominated highly cited works.

    Conclusions:

    • HGS research has experienced substantial growth over eight decades, indicating increasing global scientific interest.
    • The field is characterized by broad international collaboration, with 128 countries contributing.
    • The strong association with sarcopenia research underscores HGS's importance as a clinical marker for musculoskeletal health.
