Adequate muscular strength is required to perform daily activitiesand is considered a marker of overall health. The aim of this study was to identify sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with handgrip strength (HGS) in adults and the younger segment of the older population. A cross-sectional,population-based study was conducted with 705 individuals aged between 25 and 65 years in the city of Florianópolis, capital of the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil.HGS was assessed usinga manual hand dynamometer. Interviews were conducted with the participants to collect sociodemographic and lifestyle data.Multiple linear regressionwas performed to identify the predictors of HGS. The findings revealed that women and individuals from older age groups showed lower HGS, while being active during leisure time was associated with higher HGS.Interventions aimed at maintaining HGS levels in individuals should pay special consideration toaging and individuals who are physically inactive or insufficiently active during leisure time.
进行日常活动需要足够的肌肉力量，肌肉力量被视为整体健康的一个指标。本研究的目的是确定与成年人及老年人群中较年轻部分的握力（HGS）相关的社会人口学和生活方式因素。在巴西圣卡塔琳娜州首府弗洛里亚诺波利斯市，对705名年龄在25至65岁之间的个体进行了一项基于人群的横断面研究。使用手动握力计评估握力。对参与者进行访谈以收集社会人口学和生活方式数据。进行多元线性回归以确定握力的预测因素。研究结果显示，女性和年龄较大的人群握力较低，而在休闲时间保持活跃与较高的握力相关。旨在维持个体握力水平的干预措施应特别考虑年龄因素以及在休闲时间身体不活动或活动不足的个体。
