Posting this here so I can just send the screenshot instead of giving a full TED Talk. When your WhatsApp groups, doctors, celebrities and relatives are all buzzing about the same thing… you know it’s Ozempic season.

"From testing soldiers in 1798 to predicting metabolic health today—the handgrip test has truly stood the test of time!"

Evolution of the handgrip test — tracing its journey from Edmé Régnier’s dynamometer (1798) to today’s digital handgrip meters being used as the 5th vital sign in metabolic health.

📌 Handgrip strength → from military tests of the 18th century to frailty, sarcopenia, and metabolic health in 2025 … a timeless reminder that science is not just about the future, but also about learning from history.
