AB - PURPOSE: This study was conducted to provide evidencebased recommendations for customized interventions by identifying the incidence of low grip strength (LGS) in an elderly population in Korea.
METHODS: Adults over 65 years of age were selected as subjects using the data from 2016–2018 of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey provided by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of the 24,269 subjects who participated in the survey, 19,313, 533, and 2664 participants who were under the age of 65, did not take the grip strength test, and did not take the health survey, respectively, were excluded. Finally, 1,759 subjects were selected.
RESULTS: The incidence rate of LGS was 30.27%: 22.82% in men and 38.48% in women. The related factors of LGS had a high risk of occurrence of old age, low education level, low BMI, alcohol status, aerobic and muscle strength exercise, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
CONCLUSION: This study provided basic data for introducing health promotion policies to improve the grip strength of the elderly in consideration of related factors affecting LGS.
