Energy Intake Is Highly Associated with Handgrip Strength in Community-Dwelling Elderly Adults

Handgrip strength (HGS) is used to assess muscle strength, which is an important indicator of health status in older adults. We evaluated associations of demographic, anthropometric, clinical, and nutritional factors with muscle strength in community-dwelling elderly adults. This population-based cr...

Description
Summary:Handgrip strength (HGS) is used to assess muscle strength, which is an important indicator of health status in older adults. We evaluated associations of demographic, anthropometric, clinical, and nutritional factors with muscle strength in community-dwelling elderly adults. This population-based cross-sectional study employed the 2014–2015 Israeli Health and Nutrition Survey in the Elderly (n = 1039, age ≥65 y, 46.7% males, 9.9% Arabs). Trained personnel performed face-to-face interviews that focused on health and nutrition status, as well as anthropometric measurements and examinations. HGS was measured in the dominant hand 3 times using a digital grip strength dynamometer; the highest result was reported. Dietary intake data were collected using single-day 24-h recall. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to explore factors associated with low HGS (
