Fig 6. Effect of interventions on grip strength.
A, B, D) Show Mean Difference (square data markers) with 95% CI (horizontal lines) for meta-analysis of grip strength (measured in kilogrammes), reported either as change scores or as final measurements ± SD, separated into sub-groups for clarity, for interventions using exercise plus nutrition education, exercise only, or hormone supplementation. C) Shows SMD with 95% CI for meta-analysis of mean grip strength (measured in kilogrammes) ± SD, for interventions using nutrition supplements. Size of data markers indicates study weighting in random effects meta-analysis. Diamond-shaped data markers indicate overall SMD or Mean difference with CI for each grouping of interventions. I2 statistic is reported for each group. Right side favours intervention.
