Association of handgrip strength asymmetry and weakness with successful aging among older adults in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Successful aging (SA) is important for the increasing population aging. The role of handgrip strength(HGS) asymmetry and weakness in successful aging requires further clarification. This study aimed to elucidate the association of HGS asymmetry and weakness with successful aging in older adults.

Methods

We included participants aged ≥60 years from the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).SA absence of major diseases, absence of major chronic diseases, no impairment in physical function, high cognitive functioning, good mental health, and active participation in life. HGS asymmetry and weakness were measured using the maximum value of the HGS. Logistic regression modeling was used to examine the association of individuals with HGS asymmetry
