“…Similarly, a study carried out with 203 older adults registered in a Basic Health Unit in Curitiba, PR 15 , evidenced a higher prevalence of dynapenia in those in the age groups aged ≥80 years (73.3%), in relation to that observed in younger senior citizens (60-69 years: 43.0%) (p = 0.0120). Similar results were found in other epidemiological studies conducted in Rio de Janeiro, RJ 16 , São Caetano do Sul, SP 17 , Florianópolis, SC 14 , and Curitiba, PR 15 .…”

“…In view of this, handgrip strength (HGS) has been presented as an important tool to diagnose dynapenia, due to its low cost, easy application and interpretation 13 . However, it is observed that, in Brazil, most health surveys for this purpose have been carried out in large urban centers, mainly in the south and southeast regions 9,14,15,16,17 .…”

Este estudo identificou os fatores associados à dinapenia em idosos residentes em um município de pequeno porte do Nordeste brasileiro. Trata-se de um estudo populacional, conduzido com 208 idosos (58,7% mulheres) de Aiquara-BA. As informações sociodemográficas, comportamentais e de condições de saúde foram obtidas em entrevistas face a face, e o estado nutricional foi avaliado pelo índice de massa corporal. Para mensuração do nível de atividade física e do comportamento sedentário, utilizou-se o International Physical Activity Questionnaire. O diagnóstico da dinapenia foi realizado por sexo, a partir do percentil 25 da força de preensão manual, averiguada com um dinamômetro hidráulico. Para análises inferenciais foi utilizada a regressão de Poisson, com estimador robusto, cálculo das Razões de Prevalência (RP) e de seus respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC). A prevalência de dinapenia foi maior nos idosos com idade entre 70-79 (RP: 3,21; IC95%: 1,55-6,64) e ≥80 anos (RP: 4,91; IC95%: 2,32-10,39), nos com baixo peso (RP: 2,20; IC95%: 1,26-3,82), nos insuficientemente ativos (RP: 1,99; IC95%: 1,12-3,54) e entre os com elevado comportamento sedentário (RP: 1,88; IC95%: 1,19-2,98). Identificou-se que os fatores associados à dinapenia foram: idade entre 70-79 e ≥80 anos, nível de atividade física insuficiente; elevado comportamento sedentário e baixo peso.

“…Among Korean older women participating in a study that used HGS < 16.8 kgf for women as a cutoff point, it was found that those with a sufficient level of physical activity showed a lower chance of dynapenia (OR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.43-0.83) 36 . Corroborating with these findings, Confortin et al 34 found that sufficiently active older women presented 55.0% (95%CI: 0.25-0.82) less chance of being dynapenic when compared to insufficiently active women. These inverse associations between the level of physical activity and dynapenia are probably a consequence of the positive repercussions of exercise, such as improved communication between the nervous and muscular systems, promotion of increased satellite cells, and attenuation of anabolic resistance 37 .…”

“…In line with the results obtained, Alexandre et al 26 found that the older adults in the age groups 70-79 years and ≥ 80 years presented, respectively, 1.99 (95%CI: 1.44-2.76) and 6.13 (95%CI: 3.71-10.11) times higher probability of dynapenia in relation to those aged between 60 and 69 years. In a sample of 598 older adults of both sexes from Florianópolis-SC, where dynapenia was defined as the first quartile of HGS, stratified by BMI (women = underweight: ≤ 15.00 kgf; eutrophy: ≤ 12.50 kgf; overweight / obesity: ≤ 14.40 kgf), it was observed that among older women, the odds to dynapenia were in the order of 2.28 times (95%CI: 1.12-5.07) and 3.68 (95%CI: 1.35-10.00) higher for those assessed from the age groups of 70-79 years and ≥ 80 years, respectively, when compared to the younger age group (60-69 years) 34 .…”

This study aimed to identify the prevalence and factors associated with dynapenia in older women, considering different cutoff points as diagnostic criteria. Methods: This epidemiological study was conducted with 205 older women (72.7 ± 7.1 years). Dynapenia was diagnosed using the handgrip strength test (HGS) using two cutoff points (< 16 or < 20 kgf). Socio-demographic, behavioral, and health status information was obtained from a specific form; nutritional status was assessed by body mass index, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire identified the level of physical activity. Results: The prevalence of dynapenia was 14.1% (HGS < 16 kgf) and 46.3% (HGS < 20 kgf) (p < 0.001). It was also observed that older women with family income ≤ 1 minimum wage and those with low weight presented, respectively, 2.22 (95%CI: 1.12-4.39) and 4.72 (95%CI: 1.64-13.58) times higher probability of dynapenia identified by HGS < 16 kgf. Moreover, for the cutoff point < 20 kgf, the probability of dynapenia was higher in women aged ≥ 80 years (PR:1.91; 95%CI: 1.23-2.95), in insufficiently active women (PR: 1.34; 95%CI: 1.01-2.57), among those with low weight (PR: 1.61; 95%CI: 1.01-2.57), and in those who reported falls (PR:1.42; 95%CI: 1.04-1.96). Conclusion: Therefore, it is concluded that there is a difference between the prevalence and factors associated with dynapenia when different cutoff points are adopted.

“…Regarding the characteristics of the sample, the present study evidenced the predominance of elderly women, corroborating the profile of the Brazilian demographic pattern, whose absolute number of elderly women is higher than men over 60 years. 14,15 The fact that most of the sample presents unfavorable socioeconomic conditions. The mean age was similar to other findings that studied grip strength in elderly individuals.…”

Objective: To determine palmar grip force (PGF) in elderly population and its correlation with different parameters used in the usual practice of evaluation of nutritional status in elderly populaiton. Methodology: It was obsevational, cross-sectional study. 300 elderly people over 65 years old, who were doing gym exercises at UFC gym and Structure gym, Lahore from December 2019 to July 2020. HS was obtained using the digital dynamometer model EH101, using the average of three measurements. The cutoff point considered for low muscle strength was HS < 27 kg for men and < 16 kg for women. The standard has been taken according to the 2019 consensus of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2, version 2019). For the statistical analysis, the Statistical Package for Social Science 24.0 program was used and chi square test was applied, considering it significant when p <0.05. Results: The sample consisted of elderly people with a mean age of 71.71 ± 5.97 years, of which 28% were aged between 65 and 75 years and 51.66% were male. In the analysis of the HS, we found 57.9% of the elderly with loss of muscle strength due to non-exercise during COVID-19. The muscle circumference of the arm and tricipital skin fold indicators found the highest percentages of malnutrition, 44.1% and 57.8%, respectively. HS showed a positive association between age and handgrip test levels. Conclusion: There was a high frequency of elderly people with impaired strength, but HS correlated only with APMT, not showing a direct relationship with other anthropometric parameters used in the routine practice of assessment with the elderly. Therefore, HS, or at least the evaluation of APMT, becomes indispensable for the evaluation and physical exercise training of elderly persons during COVID-19 pandemic.
