Resumen
Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre la fuerza manual y el riesgo caída con la edad y el género del adulto mayor.
Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal realizado en 300 adultos mayores del municipio de San Onofre, Sucre, 131 mujeres y 169 hombres, a los cuales se les aplicó un cuestionario donde se recogieron datos sociodemográficos y antecedentes de salud. Se midió la fuerza manual mediante un dinamómetro digital marca Camry 90 kg, con hombro y antebrazo en posición neutra y con flexión de codo de 90°, se realizaron 2 intentos y se tomó el mejor resultado para ambas manos. También se realizó la prueba de Time and Go (TUG), donde el adulto mayor desde posición sedente caminaba una distancia de 3 metros regresaba y se sentaba al terminar se tomaba el tiempo realizado.
Resultados: Hubo más participación de hombres (56,3%) que mujeres (43,6%). La fuerza prensil promedio en hombre fue de 48,6 ±15,9 kg y en mujeres 48,2±7,9 kg; y en el test de TUG en hombre la media fue de 12,6±6 segundos. Y en mujeres 9,4±3 segundos. Conclusiones: existe una relación entre la fuerza prensil, el riesgo de caídas y la edad del adulto mayor, cuando la fuerza prensil disminuye, el riesgo de caída aumenta.
Objective: To determine the relationship between manual force and fall risk with the age and gender of the elderly. Materials and Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in 300 older adults from the municipality of San Onofre, Sucre, 131 women and 169 men, to whom a questionnaire was applied where sociodemographic data and health history were collected. Manual strength was measured using a Camry 90 kg digital dynamometer, with the shoulder and forearm in a neutral position and with 90° elbow flexion, 2 attempts were made and the best result was taken for both hands. The Time and Go (TUG) test was also carried out, where the older adult from a seated position walked a distance of 3 meters, returned and sat down at the end, taking the time taken. Results: There was more participation of men (56.3%) than women (43.6%). The average grip strength in men was 48.6 ± 15.9 kg and in women 48.2 ± 7.9 kg; and in the TUG test in men, the mean was 12.6±6 seconds. And in women 9.4±3 seconds. Conclusions: It was concluded that there is a relationship between the prehensile strength, the risk of falls and the age of the MA, when the prehensile strength decreases, the risk of falls increases.
