“…Smoking is known to have a negative effect on HGS [22]. However, several studies about factors related to HGS showed various results [12, 18, 23]. A previous Korean study based on data from the early 2000s also showed no correlation between smoking and HGS [15].…”

“…However, the findings of studies in other countries were contrasting. A European study found no significant association between HGS and educational level [23], while studies in Brazil found associations between HGS and certain factors [12]. This difference is presumed to be due to differences in the classification criteria or socioeconomic environments between the studies.…”

“…Also, various factors related to HGS have been identified. Although old age, low body mass index (BMI), and less physical activity was highly related to lower HGS, the relationship between HGS and other factors such as marital status, level of education, health related behaviors and comorbidities showed inconsistent results [12–14].…”

Risk factors associated with low handgrip strength in the older Korean population

Hand grip strength (HGS) is a means to assess health status and physical abilities indirectly. Various factors are known to be related to HGS, but data on the factors influencing HGS in the Korean population are lacking. Recently, the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveyed social status, nutrition, physical status, and other medical history including HGS. This study aimed to investigate the social, physical, and individual health behavior factors associated with low HGS in the elderly Korean population. This population-based cross-sectional study was based on the 2014–2016 KNHANES. Community-dwelling Korean elderly (aged ≥65 years) were included in this survey. The relationship between HGS and socioeconomic status, nutrition, exercise, and other clinical characteristics were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. The sample size was 3,634 (weighted: 6,006,406). Elderly men and women with low HGS showed lower body mass index, reduced physical activity and lower education level. Among elderly men, excessive carbohydrate and inadequate protein intake were observed in the low HGS group. Meanwhile, older women who did not drink alcohol and had diabetes were at higher risk of low HGS. In conclusion, various physical, nutritional, socioeconomic and comorbidity statuses were seemed to be the factors associated with HGS in Korean elderly. However, further cohort or case-control study will be necessary to determine the causal relationship of those factors and HGS.

“…A baixa escolaridade pode impactar de maneira negativa a saúde dos longevos expressos no acesso: às informações e serviços, aos recursos financeiros e às oportunidades de emprego. 17 Dessa forma, a baixa renda e escolaridade podem ser desafiadoras para os cuidados em saúde, como disponibilidade limitada à alimentação adequada, aos serviços de saúde e à prática de exercícios físicos, 17 predispondo o idoso à redução da FPM, 24 morbidades e limitações funcionais. 17 Também se verificou em pesquisas nacionais 15,17,25 e internacional 19 maiores percentuais de longevos viúvos.…”

Objetivos: Descrever as características sociodemográficas e de saúde dos longevos, identificar a ocorrência da redução da força de preensão manual dos longevos e verificar os fatores associados à redução da força de preensão manual dos longevos. Métodos: Estudo transversal e analítico, com abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido com 313 idosos longevos da comunidade de uma Macrorregião de Saúde do Estado de Minas Gerais. Na coleta dos dados aplicaram-se: Miniexame do Estado Mental; Questionário estruturado elaborado pelo Grupo de Pesquisa em Saúde Coletiva; Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física; versão brasileira do Short Physical Performance Battery; Teste de força de preensão manual; Índice de massa corporal e questão referente à ocorrência de queda. Procederam-se às análises: descritiva, teste Qui-quadrado e regressão logística múltipla (p<0,05). Resultados: Houve predomínio de longevos do sexo feminino (64,2%); com 80-90 anos de idade (86,6%); 1-5 anos de estudo (53,0%); renda ≤1 salário mínimo (55,3%); viúvos (63,3%); que moravam acompanhados (75,7%); inativos fisicamente (51,4%); com desempenho físico moderado/bom (55,9%); sem ocorrência de quedas nos últimos 12 meses (68,4%); eutróficos (39,9%) e com cinco ou mais morbidades (62,9%). A maioria dos longevos (60,4%) apresentou redução da força de preensão manual que se associou à ocorrência de quedas nos últimos 12 meses (p=0,042) e à inatividade física (p<0,001). Conclusão: A redução na força de preensão manual dos idosos longevos foi relacionada à ocorrência de quedas e inatividade física, tais fatores contribuem para planejamento do cuidado gerontológico na prática clínica.

“…2010). Reduction in handgrip strength is related to a decline in general muscle strength that slows down recovery process (Lenardt et al 2016). Moreover, prolonged and continuous use of the dominant hand has been found to trigger increased cervical and shoulder muscle tension (Mustafa & Sutan 2013).…”

Walaupun faktor sosio-demografi, fizikal dan faktor lain dikaitkan dengan sakit leher, terdapat sedikit data tentang bagaimana faktor-faktor ini dikaitkan dengan ketidakupayaan dalam kalangan orang dewasa yang menderita dari keadaan in. Kami bertujuan untuk menentukan faktor sosio-demografi dan fizikal (kekuatan dan julat pergerakan sendi) yang menyebabkan ketidakupayaan pada orang dewasa yang mengalami sakit leher yang tidak spesifik. Sejumlah 34 orang dewasa yang mengalami sakit leher dengan purata umur 55 (10.80) tahun dari klinik fisioterapi di hospital pengajaran mengambil bahagian dalam kajian ini. Butiran sosialdemografi seperti indeks jisim badan, status pekerjaan semasa, jumlah jam senaman dilakukan seminggu telah diperoleh. Tahap kesakitan dinilai menggunakan Skor Penilaian Numerikal (Numerical Rating Scale, NRS). Tahap ketidakupayaan dinilai dengan menggunakan Indeks Ketidakupayaan Leher (Neck Disability Index). Julat pergerakan servikal diukur dengan menggunakan alat pengukur pergerakan servikal. Dinamometer tangan digunakan untuk mengukur kekuatan genggaman tangan dominan. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan regresi linear berlangkah. Lebih separuh daripada peserta yang mengalami kesakitan leher dalam kajian ini adalah perempuan, di atas 50 tahun, dalam kumpulan kelebihan berat badan (jisim berat badan >25 kg/m 2), kini menganggur dan mengalami sakit leher yang teruk (Skor Penilaian Numerikal >7). Kekuatan tangan adalah satu-satunya
