摘要：
Background: Hand grip strength could be influenced by gender, age and handedness. Aim: To describe differences in grip strength for age, gender and upper extremity handedness in non-disabled community-dwelling older adults. Material and Methods: We studied 47 males aged 72.3 +/- 5.6 years and 69 females 72.4 +/- 6.0 years who were divided in two age groups (65-70 and 71 years old). Grip strength was determined by a standardized protocol using a hand dynamometer. Results: There was an inverse correlation between grip strength and age in both hands only among men (p <= 0.05). When analyzing both genders, there was a significant inverse correlation between grip strength and age only in the dominant hand (p <= 0.05). Strength was higher in the dominant hand in both genders (p <= 0.05). It was also higher in men, compared to women in the two age groups studied (p <= 0.05). Conclusions: Grip strength is higher in men than women, it decreases with age and is higher in the dominant hand.
