the claim

On average, adult men have about 50 percent greater upper-body strength than adult women.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that on average, adult men have about 50 percent greater upper-body strength than adult women?

Unclear. One university study reports men had more than 50 percent greater handgrip strength than women, and a popular book asserts men are generally stronger, but neither provides a population-level average for upper-body strength; the other relevant item concerns lower-limb torque.
