Relationship between hand grip strength and lung function among older adults in Korea: Secondary analysis of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Findings showed HGS independently aligned with FVC and FEV<sub>1</sub>, requiring a significant post-adjustment for confounders. Consistent with prior studies, results suggest HGS could indicate respiratory health in older adults. Despite divergent outcomes from earlier research, a persistent link between HGS and lung function underscores its value in geriatric screenings for early lung-decline detection.
