Relative Grip Strength: Females, Age 70-79

What these numbers mean

A value around 0.33 is typical (50th percentile) for females in this age group. Scores above about 0.40 fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance. Scores below about 0.27 fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population scored higher.

Relative grip strength is grip force divided by bodyweight. These US norms are derived from NHANES 2011-2014, so ratios tend to run lower than in leaner populations.
