Resumen
SANCHEZ-MONTOYA, Lida J.; BENAVIDES-CORDOBA, Vicente y PALACIOS-GOMEZ, Mauricio. Association of grip strength with cardiovascular risk in sedentary workers. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp.1-. Epub 01-Sep-2021. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v23n2.88354.
Objective
To assess prehensile strength in administrative personnel as screening for cardiovascular risk.
Method
A cross-sectional study was carried out with administrative personnel. Prehensile strength was measured and was related to anthropometric variables, the level of lifestyle adopted by the workers, estimated with the FANTASTIC Test, and the level of physical activity, assessed with the IPAQ Questionnaire.
Results
In 152 participants, no association of prehensile strength was found with physical activity and lifestyles measurements. Nor with early cardiovascular risk markers. The population had good lifestyles with a high level of sedentary behavior. Unlike other investigations, our population had very low comorbidity rates and were not elderly. This could explain the different results.
Conclusion
Prehensile force does not seem to be useful in evaluating lifestyle programs in administrative personnel with a low level of comorbidities.
