A value around 0.59 is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group.
Scores above about 0.67 fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance. Scores below about 0.49 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.
Reference population:US adults aged 20 and over from two pooled NHANES cycles (2011-2012 and 2013-2014), nationally representative
