“…Our findings agreed with earlier studies that reported an independent association between low HGS and functional mobility [ 43 , 44 ]. Notably, TUG performance was lowest among participants with low HGS, regardless of HGS symmetry, suggesting that low HGS and not asymmetry, was associated with functional mobility.…”

Background Emerging evidence suggest that in addition to low hand grip strength (HGS), HGS asymmetry is associated with declining cognitive and physical functions. We examined the associations of low HGS and asymmetry with cognitive function and functional mobility in older adults. Methods Cross-sectional data of 330 community-dwelling adults (55.2% women) aged ≥ 55 years included HGS, Repeated Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), and Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG). Low HGS was defined as < 28 kg for men and < 18 kg for women. Participants with HGS above 10% stronger on either hand were considered as having HGS asymmetry. Multiple linear regression models were adjusted for sociodemographic, smoking, education, comorbidity count, physical activity participation, obesity, self-rated health and hand dominance. Results Low HGS, but not asymmetry, was independently associated with lower functional mobility performance (β = 1.3, 95%CI = 0.6,1.9), global cognitive function (β = -10.4, 95%CI = -17.0,-3.8), immediate (β = -2.6, 95%CI = -4.5,-0.7) and delayed (β = -2.8, 95%CI = -5.0,-0.7) memory. Compared to normal and symmetric HGS participants, low HGS in combination with HGS asymmetry was associated with poorer language scores. In participants with normal HGS, asymmetric HGS was associated with slower TUG than corresponding groups with symmetric HGS. Conclusion Low HGS, but not asymmetry, was associated with lower cognition and functional mobility. Associations of combined low HGS and asymmetry with cognitive and physical functions were driven by grip strength rather than asymmetry.

“…There is a tendency for the decrease of FPM with the advancement of the age being that the decrease of the force of grip occurs of form more accelerated than the force of lower limbs. 19 It is reported that, in some studies, what is found is that women have the fragility component, for the grip strength variable, differently from what was found in this study, where the men were the ones with the greatest fragility.…”

RESUMO Objetivo: verificar a relação entre IMC e força de preensão com os critérios de classificação da fragilidade. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, de campo, exploratório e descritivo, por meio de um questionário com 300 idosos. Os dados foram registrados no programa SPSS, versão 20, e analisados por estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: observaram-se associações do sexo com a fragilidade em tempo de caminhada, força de preensão e nível de atividade como, também, na correlação da estrutura com a força de preensão e da massa corporal com a força de preensão para os idosos e as idosas. Por fim, identificaram-se diferenças estatísticas entre a fragilidade em força de preensão, massa corporal e estatura dos homens. Conclusão: com relação aos componentes de fragilidade, houve diferença entre os sexos. As mulheres apresentaram fragilidade para a variável tempo de caminhada e os idosos foram mais frágeis para a força de preensão e o nível de atividade física. Descritores: Antropometria; Diferença Entre os Sexos; Envelhecimento; Estado Nutricional; Idoso Fragilizado; Força Muscular da Mão.ABSTRACT Objective: to verify the relationship between BMI and grip strength with the fragility classification criteria. Method: this is a quantitative field study, exploratory and descriptive, through a questionnaire with 300 elderly people. Data was recorded in the SPSS program, version 20, and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: sex associations with gait duration fragility, grip strength and activity level were observed, as well as in the correlation of the structure with grip strength and body mass with grip strength for the elderly and the elderly. Finally, statistical differences were identified between the grip strength, body mass and height of men. Conclusion: with regard to fragility components, there was difference between the sexes. The women presented fragility for the variable walking time and the elderly were more fragile for the grip strength and the level of physical activity.

“…A study with the elderly illustrated the difference between the hand grip strength means of elderly persons who fell and those who did not fall after institutionalization. A large part of the elderly persons residing in the community who had fallen had a lower HST score (11 to 20 kgf) than those who had not fallen (21 to 30 kgf) 23 .…”

Objectives: to identify the demographic and clinical profile, context of risk and the occurrence of falls among institutionalized elderly persons; analyze the association between the classification of risk of falling using the Brazilian version of the Morse Fall Scale and the occurrence of falls in such individuals. Method: A cohort study was performed in two long-stay institutions in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. The sample consisted of 193 elderly persons. Descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi-squared and Fisher tests) were used for analysis. Results: The occurrence of falls was associated with hearing impairment, hand grip strength, Katz Index score, degree of dependence according to Collegial Board Resolution 283/2005 and risk of falls according to the MFS-B. Conclusion: Falls have multifactorial causes, which makes it important to identify the agents that contribute to their occurrence, as it is known that institutionalization significantly increases the risk of falling. Multidisciplinary actions are important for reducing the risk of falls, together with the use of instruments that can predict such risk among institutionalized elderly people.
