Multijoint and Single-Joint, Upper- and Lower-Body Strength Across the Adult Lifespan: Cross-Sectional Data for 76,514 Men and Women, Ages 20 to 93

= 76,514; men = 13,792, women = 62,722). Data were structured into successive 5-year age groups and presented as absolute isometric strength (newtons; N). Descriptive analyses are reported as median and interquartile range and percentage difference. Mens' and womens' strength peaked between 25 and 44 years. Strength difference from youngest to oldest age groups were similar between men (23%-40%) and women (21%-45%) with the exception of chest press, which showed a greater difference in men (57%). As cross-sectional data, we limit inference of strength change; however, these data may serve as device- and protocol-specific descriptive values for future researchers, exercise practitioners, and medical professionals to confer cross-sectional strength differences across the adult lifespan.
