Grip Strength Measurement in the Right Hand Better Predicts Mortality Regardless of Dominant Hand

Purpose Muscle strength is often higher when measured on the dominant hand than non-dominant hand, and there are reports of differences in mortality rates between left-handed right-handed people Korean population. Therefore, it necessary to longitudinally investigate effect grip rates. Methods Data from Longitudinal Study Aging (KLoSA) 2006 2016 were assessed 9,196 research subjects included. The analyzed by measuring 1) right 2) left 3) for people. In addition, association mental health disorders a generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was used. Results all-cause statistically significant both hands. When with hands, log likelihood ratio test Akaike information criterion (AIC) hands (p=.018). AIC (p=.009). Taken together, no difference ambidextrous individuals according measurement grip, but had that which side. Conclusions better predictor use maximum or average value after Keywords: Grip strength, Mortaility, Dominant
