To establish reference values of grip force and pinch grip in 10-year age-spans of an adult population, and to explore personal and activity factors associated with grip force.
The study has a cross-sectional design. A total of 566 participants, aged 20-94 years, were recruited from a variety of settings. Grip force and pinch grip in Newtons (N) were measured with the electronic instrument Grippit, while demographic data were obtained by a questionnaire.
In general, males are stronger than females in all age groups, and females in their thirties are equally strong as males in their seventies. In both genders, grip force reaches its maximum in the third decade of life and decreases from the age of 40. Gender is the most important predictor of grip force, with a difference of 216 N (B = 216, p < 0.001) in force between females and males. In the gender-specific regression analyses, age, height, and exercise came out as independent significant predictors of grip force in both females and males.
Grip force increases from the age of 20 and curves at the age of 40. Males are stronger than females in all age groups. Grip force is strongly associated with gender, age, height, and regular exercising.
确定成年人群每10岁年龄跨度的握力和捏力参考值，并探究与握力相关的个人因素和活动因素。
本研究采用横断面设计。从各种场所招募了566名年龄在20 - 94岁之间的参与者。使用电子仪器Grippit测量以牛顿（N）为单位的握力和捏力，同时通过问卷获取人口统计学数据。
总体而言，在所有年龄组中男性比女性更强壮，三十多岁的女性与七十多岁的男性力量相当。在两性中，握力在生命的第三个十年达到最大值，并从40岁开始下降。性别是握力最重要的预测因素，女性和男性之间的力量差异为216 N（B = 216，p < 0.001）。在按性别进行的回归分析中，年龄、身高和运动在女性和男性中均为握力的独立显著预测因素。
握力从20岁开始增加，并在40岁时出现曲线变化。在所有年龄组中男性比女性更强壮。握力与性别、年龄、身高和规律运动密切相关。
