A total of<br>180 participants aged 18–49 years, including students and faculty, were recruited.<br>Anthropometric data, waist circumference, and HGS (measured using a TKK<br>dynamometer) were recorded. IDRS was calculated based on age, physical activity,<br>family history, and waist circumference. Absolute HGS was defined as the sum of the<br>maximum grip strength from both hands.
