Handgrip strength, dynapenia, and health-related quality of life in older Korean adults
Reduced HGS and the presence of dynapenia were significantly associated with lower HRQoL, particularly among women. These findings highlight the critical role of muscle strength in maintaining the well-being of aging populations. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to validate these associations and elucidate potential causal mechanisms.
