RESUMO
Resumo A força muscular é necessária para realização de atividades diárias, sendo considerada marcador de saúde global. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores sociodemográficos e do estilo de vida correlatos à força de preensão manual (FPM) em adultos e idosos jovens. Estudo de base populacional com delineamento transversal, realizado com 705 indivíduos, de 25 a 65 anos de idade, da cidade de Florianópolis, SC, Brasil. Analisou-se a FPM por meio do instrumento de dinamometria manual. Os dados sociodemográficos e do estilo de vida foram levantados por entrevista. Utilizou-se regressão linear múltipla para a identificação das variáveis preditoras da FPM. Mulheres e indivíduos mais velhos foram os fatores associados a menores valores de FPM. Além disso, ser ativo no lazer foi associado a maiores valores de FPM. Intervenções objetivando a manutenção dos níveis de FPM nos indivíduos devem considerar o envelhecimento e aqueles inativos e insuficientemente ativos fisicamente no lazer.
ABSTRACT
Abstract 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.
