Brief summary: In this study, our aim is to determine the reference values for the handgrip force and bioimpedance values in healthy Turkish children.

Detailed description: In this study, our aim is to determine the reference values for the handgrip force and bioimpedance values in healthy Turkish children.

The study was planned as a cross-sectional clinical study. All healthy children studying at Hamdi Akverdi Primary School and Halil Bedii Management Secondary School in the Bakırköy region of Istanbul will be included. The date of birth of the children will be learned. It will be determined in which city in Turkey the population is registered.

TANITA BIA analysis and hand grip strength (with jamar) measured in the dominant hand were planned for all children. In addition, the calf circumference of all children will be measured. Written consent forms will be obtained from the families of the children before the evaluation.

It was planned to include 1500 children in the study.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:
