Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that body weight [β(s.e) =0.27 (0.05), <i>P</i> < 0.000], body fat [β(s.e) = -0.52 (0.14), <i>P</i> < 0.000) and WHR [β(s.e) = -28.81 (11.9), <i>P</i> = 0.017] independently predicted the HGS of dominant hand. In non-dominant hand, body weight [β(s.e) = 0.26 (0.05), <i>P</i> < 0.000] and body fat [β(s.e) = -0.60 (0.13), <i>P</i> < 0.000] independently predicted HGS.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Body fat, body weight, and Waist-to-Hip ratio (WHR) were found to have a significant influence on the HGS of industrial workers. Strategies aimed to reduce overall body fat and abdominal obesity may prove beneficial in improving HGS and nutritional status thereby reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":43585,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine","volume":"28 1","pages":"56-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11111141/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141089050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
