Relationship Between Sedentary Lifestyle and Handgrip Strength Among Korean Workers
1From the Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Gachon University College of Medicine, Incheon, Republic of Korea (J.Y.); and Department of Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Republic of Korea (W.L.).
Objective:
This study examined the relationship between sedentary time and handgrip strength with age-group stratification.
Methods:
This study used 11,295 Korean workers. Participants were divided into two age groups: ≤39 and ≥40 years. Handgrip strength was measured, and sedentary time was self-reported. Multiple logistic and linear regression models were used to examine the association between sedentary time and handgrip strength.
Results:
Those with ≥6 hours of daily sedentary time had slightly higher odds of low handgrip strength, though not significant overall (odds ratio 1.09, 95% confidence interval 0.95-1.26). However, younger adults with high sedentary time showed significantly higher odds (odds ratio 1.55, 95% confidence interval 1.13-2.12). Linear regression also indicated a stronger negative association in younger adults.
Conclusions:
Interventions to reduce sedentary time could help maintain muscle strength, especially in younger populations.
