Abstract:

Objective: To estimate the association between chronic diseases and handgrip strength (HS) among elderly people from Florianopolis, SC. Methods: A cross-sectional and population-based study including 604 elderly interviewees. HS was verified by dynamometer and recorded independent variables included 10 chronic diseases, falls and disability in activities of daily living (ADL). Simple and multiple linear regression analyzes were performed. Results: In the final model, arthritis/rheumatism/arthrosis (β: -1.44; 95% CI: -2.59, -0.28) and bronchitis or asthma (β: 1.62; 95% CI: 0.23; 3.00) were associated with lower HS in women. For men, in the final model, diabetes (β: -3.81; 95% CI: - 6.52; -1.10) and disability in 4 or more ADL (β: -5.31; 95% CI: - 9 04; -1.60) were associated with lower HS. In the trend analysis, HS decreased with the increasing number of chronic diseases for both sexes. Conclusion: There was an association between HS and multimorbidity, with differences between the sexes. Based on our findings, we propose that health policies should be reformulated with increased emphasis on maintaining the independence and autonomy of the elderly people.
