“…Similar to a previous study [ 28 ], there was a significant negative relationship between age group and handgrip strength in our data (right hand: r = − 0.016, p < 0.001, left hand: r = − 0.014, p < 0.001). Handgrip strength decreased with aging and appeared to be a predictor of development of geriatric disease, and lifelong management of handgrip indicates a great potential for promoting healthy aging [ 29 ]. In practice, including handgrip strength in medical screenings may aid in identification of potential high-risk individuals for depression.…”

BackgroundThere are conflicting researches on the relationship between muscular strength and depression, the most common mental illness. There is no study of relationship between muscular strength and depression using national data from young adults to seniors. For example, there has not been a study done explaining mediating pathways among the influences of handgrip strength on depression. Here, we conducted survey for the association between relative handgrip strength and depression and explain mediated pathways for quality of life.MethodsA cross-sectional study was administered to 4298 Korean adult subjects, aged 19–80 years, based on the 6th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VI) of 2014. Handgrip strength reported as the average with each hand. The relative handgrip strength is defined as the handgrip strength divided by the body mass index (BMI). We performed analysis for all subjects and age groups (young adult, middle-aged, and elderly). We analyzed the association using multivariate linear regression and logistic regression. We also conducted mediation analysis for quality of life, which was measured by the EuroQol Five-Dimension Questionnaire (EQ5D).ResultsAfter adjusting for covariates, handgrip strength was inversely associated with the PHQ-9 score (P < 0.05). The odds ratios (OR) of depression symptoms were statistically significant for participants in the first and second quartile of handgrip strength compared to those with the highest quartile in entire sample, young adult, middle-aged, and elderly. There was about a 50% mediation effect of EQ5D in the relationship between handgrip strength and depression.ConclusionsUsing a large national sample, our results found that lower handgrip strength is associated with an increased risk of depression in Korean adult (young adult, middle-aged, and elderly). Our results suggest that increasing muscular strength may prevent depression in Korean adults.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-018-6030-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In combination with reduced bone mass i.e., osteoporosis sarcopenia has dramatic consequences such as impaired functional performance, increased risk of falls and, consequently, an increased risk of fragility fractures [ 8 , 9 , 63 ]. Especially during old age people are vulnerable to the adverse consequences of sarcopenia and osteoporosis, i.e., frailty, increased risk of falls, disability, cognitive impairment depression and even mortality [ 25 , 27 , 55 , 64 ]. The decrease of muscle mass and muscle strength is caused by genetic factors [ 54 ] but also by lifetime physical activity [ 55 , 65 ], and occupational position [ 66 ].…”

“…A useful proxy to determine physical fitness and physical well-being, especially among elderly people, is the measurement of hand grip strength, which is increasingly used as an indicator of overall muscle strength and function [ 23 , 24 ]. A high grip strength is strongly associated with preserved mobility [ 25 ], higher activities of daily living [ 26 , 27 ] and decreased disability [ 28 , 29 ]. Beside the effects of physical well-being, health-related quality of life is influenced by environmental and social factors [ 30 ].…”

Over the last century life expectancy has increased dramatically nearly all over the world. This dramatic absolute and relative increase of the old aged people component of the population has influenced not only population structure but also has dramatic implications for the individuals and public health services. The aim of the present pilot study was to examine the impact of physical well-being assessed by hand grip strength and social factors estimated by social contact frequency on health-related quality of life among 22 men and 41 women ranging in age between 60 and 94 years. Physical well-being was estimated by hand grip strength, data concerning subjective wellbeing and health related quality of life were collected by personal interviews based on the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires. Number of offspring and intergenerational contacts were not related significantly to health-related quality of life, while social contacts with non-relatives and hand grip strength in contrast had a significant positive impact on health related quality of life among old aged men and women. Physical well-being and in particular muscle strength—estimated by grip strength—may increase health-related quality of life and is therefore an important source for well-being during old age. Grip strength may be used as an indicator of health-related quality of life.

“…Além disso, Lee et al (2018), ao avaliar 4298 indivíduos coreanos de diversas faixas etárias, encontraram que aqueles com os menores níveis de força de preensão manual na mão direita e esquerda apresentaram piores níveis de qualidade de vida (p = 0,004 e p = 0,003, respectivamente). Esta relação deve-se ao fato de que os indivíduos que possuem maiores níveis de força apresentam uma maior sobrevida e uma maior capacidade funcional, o que influencia diretamente em uma maior qualidade de vida (FUKUMORI et al, 2015;KOZAKAI, 2017). (PEDRERO-CHAMIZO et al, 2015;UL-HAQ et al, 2014).…”

Correlacionar as variáveis antropométricas, capacidade funcional e força de preensão manual com a qualidade de vida dos servidores da Superintendência Federal de Agricultura em Goiás. Participaram 61 servidores, com idade 49±2,27 anos. Foram coletados dados referentes a antropometria, esforço físico, capacidade funcional, qualidade de vida e prática de atividade física Apenas 1,6% dos participantes era sedentário. A variável antropométrica de maior inadequação foi a circunferência muscular do braço (95,1%). Houve uma correlação negativa entre a capacidade funcional e o IMC, CC e RCE (p = 0,003; p = 0,001; p < 0,001, respectivamente), e positiva com a preensão manual não dominante (p = 0,048). Apesar da elevada prevalência de prática de atividade física encontrada, a mudança de outros fatores relacionados ao estilo de vida mostra-se relevante para a reversão das inadequações antropométricas e melhora da qualidade de vida dos participantes.
