目标：建立成年人群 10 岁年龄段的握力和捏力参考值，并探讨与握力相关的个人和活动因素。方法：该研究采用横断面设计。共有 566 名参与者，年龄在 20 岁至 94 岁之间，来自不同的环境。握力和捏握力（以牛顿 (N) 为单位）通过电子仪器 Grippit 进行测量，而人口统计数据则通过问卷获得。结果：总体而言，各个年龄段的男性都比女性更强，30 岁的女性与 70 岁的男性同等强。对于两种性别，握力在三十岁左右达到最大值，并从 40 岁开始下降。性别是握力最重要的预测因素，女性和男性之间的握力差异为 216 N (B = 216，p < 0.001)。在性别特异性回归分析中，年龄、身高和运动量都是女性和男性握力的独立显着预测因素。结论：握力从20岁开始增加，40岁开始弯曲。各年龄段男性均强于女性。握力与性别、年龄、身高和定期锻炼密切相关。
Objectives: To establish reference values of grip force and pinch grip in 10-year age-spans of an adult population, and to explore personal and activity factors associated with grip force. Methods: The study has a cross-sectional design. A total of 566 participants, aged 20-94 years, were recruited from a variety of settings. Grip force and pinch grip in Newtons (N) were measured with the electronic instrument Grippit, while demographic data were obtained by a questionnaire. Results: In general, males are stronger than females in all age groups, and females in their thirties are equally strong as males in their seventies. In both genders, grip force reaches its maximum in the third decade of life and decreases from the age of 40. Gender is the most important predictor of grip force, with a difference of 216 N (B = 216, p < 0.001) in force between females and males. In the gender-specific regression analyses, age, height, and exercise came out as independent significant predictors of grip force in both females and males. Conclusions: Grip force increases from the age of 20 and curves at the age of 40. Males are stronger than females in all age groups. Grip force is strongly associated with gender, age, height, and regular exercising.
