ObjectiveTo examine the predictive validity of field-based muscular strength tests in relation to incident long-term health conditions among adults.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesPubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, CINAHL, Epistemonikos and Google Scholar.Eligibility criteriaCohort studies examining the predictive value of validated and/or reliable field-based muscular strength tests in relation to long-term health conditions in adults aged ≥18 years.ResultsA total of 155 studies were included with 94 included in the meta-analysis. Adults with the highest (vs lowest) handgrip strength levels had a lower risk of multiple long-term health conditions (all pConclusionsOur findings suggest increased handgrip strength and chair-stand test performance are associated with a lower risk of multiple long-term health conditions among adults. This research underscores the predictive value of simple field-based muscular strength tests which appear to be clinically useful for adults across different age groups and demographic profiles.
