Testosterone therapies significantly improved peak muscle strength (standardised mean difference (SMD) was 0.31 (95% CI 0.05 to 0.56)) and peak workload (SMD was 0.27 (95% CI 0.01 to 0.52)) compared with control conditions (all but one used placebo), but not peak VO2 (SMD was 0.21 (95% CI −0.15 to 0.56)) or HRQoL (SMD was –0.03 (95% CI −0.32 to 0.25)).

Grip strength is a reliable measurement when standardised methods and calibrated equipment are used, independent of evaluator or type of dynamometer, [ 35] and has been found to be a powerful predictor of disability, morbidity and mortality [ 36- 38].

Handgrip strength in the Ghanaian study population was standardised according to the age group- and sex-specific mean height and BMI in the Dutch reference population, using the regression coefficients obtained for these determinants in the Ghanaian study population.

Figure 1B shows that the differences in handgrip strength between the Ghanaian study population and the Dutch reference population were attenuated when handgrip strength in the Ghanaian study population was standardised according to the age group- and sex-specific mean height and BMI of the Dutch reference population.
