Hand Grip Strength and Likelihood of Moderate-to-Severe Airflow Limitation in the General Population

Sarcopenia is mainly results from aging; however, it is more prevalent in chronic airway disease such as obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Hand grip strength (HGS) can be used as an indicator to evaluate sarcopenia. We aimed to assess the association between HGS and severity of airflow limitatio...

Description
Summary:Sarcopenia is mainly results from aging; however, it is more prevalent in chronic airway disease such as obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Hand grip strength (HGS) can be used as an indicator to evaluate sarcopenia. We aimed to assess the association between HGS and severity of airflow limitation (AFL) in the general population. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2014 to 2018. Subjects aged ≥40 years who underwent both spirometry and HGS tests were included. AFL was defined by spirometry revealed forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV )/forced vital capacity (FVC)
