Hand strength, Functional Status, Older Adults.Abstract
Manual grip strength is a biological marker associated with aging and body function. A decrease in handgrip strength, especially after the age of 65, is associated with Sarcopenia, risk of falls, compromised physical function, and premature mortality. The study aimed to determine the correlation between handgrip strength and functional status in older adults in Southeastern Mexico
