Abstract

Intoduction: The objective of this article is to establish the relationship of grip strength and seniority in the occupation of a group of workers in the industrial sector in the city of Bogotá. Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative and correlational study was carried out in different companies in the industrial sector of the city of Bogotá, applying a standardized protocol for measuring grip force with a Jamar hydraulic dynamometer. The population was represented by 99 people, where 85 met the inclusion criteria, including 24 women and 61 men. Multiple linear regression was applied to analyze the correlation between maximum hand grip strength with age, gender and length of service. Results: A statistically significant relationship was identified between gender and hand grip strength, with P=1. 56E-15 for right hand grip strength and P=7.73E-11 for left hand grip strength. Length of occupation and age did not report a statistically significant influence on the intensity of grip strength in either hand. Conclusions: A direct relationship was found between gender and intensity of hand grip strength, and an inversely proportional relationship between age and hand grip strength. No statistically significant influence was found between seniority in occupation and hand grip strength
