SUMMARY:

Handgrip strength is an indicator of general muscle strength and in cancer patients it acts as a relevant marker associated with mortality and health. The systematic review aimed to assess the association between peripheral muscle function and health-related quality of life in breast cancer survivors. A registered systematic review was performed (PROSPERO: CRD 42021225206). Searches were performed in MEDLINE via Pubmed, PEDro, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL via EBSCO and Science Direct databases. Observational studies evaluating the association between handgrip strength and health-related quality of life in adult female breast cancer survivors were included. No language or time restrictions were applied. Two reviewers reviewed full texts for inclusion and performed data extraction and risk of bias using the Newcastle and Ottawa scale. Five articles were included and involved 587 patients, with a mean age of 47 to 59 years. The percentage of decreased handgrip strength ranged from 38.3% to 60.3%. Handgrip strength was associated with different measures of quality of life. From the meta-analysis including 220 patients, the correlation coefficient between handgrip strength and health-related quality of life was 0.26 (95% CI: 0.07-0.35). Thus, we conclude that breast cancer survivors face a decline in handgrip strength. In this population, handgrip strength was correlated with health-related quality of life. However, more evidence is needed.
