AB - This study investigated differences in Senior Fitness Test(SFT) performance by hand grip strength(HGS) levels in elderly women, and evaluated HGS as a potential screening tool for overall physical function and strength decline. Participants were classified into five groups according to HGS percentiles: Group A(≥90%, ≥25.2kg; n=21), Group B(75–89%, 22.5~25.1kg; n=36), Group C(50–74%, 19.5~22.4kg; n=42), Group D(25–49%, 16.5~19.4kg; n=43), and Group E(≤25%, <16.5kg; n=36).
Physical fitness was evaluated with the SFT, and group differences were analyzed. Elderly women with lower HGS exhibited significantly reduced performance in lower body strength, aerobic endurance, agility, and dynamic balance compared with higher HGS groups. Moreover, HGS showed significant associations with upper·lower strength(p<.01), aerobic endurance(p<.01), agility, and dynamic balance(p<.01), highlighting HGS as a comprehensive indicator of functional capacity. This study demonstrates that HGS reflects not only grip strength but also overall physical function, excluding flexibility, and serves as a clinically meaningful and practical indicator of frailty risk in older adults.
HGS can be used to identify high-risk individuals, monitor functional decline, and guide timely interventions to prevent disability and adverse health outcomes.
