- Abstract
Humans require good physical support to ensure the smooth running of heir activity. Lack of physical activity can lead to weight gain and increase in Body Mass Index (BMI). Increasing weight on the body can affect motor performance, including postural balance and muscle strength. Therefore, BMI can affect muscle quality and can predict hand grip strength. This study aims to determine how BMI and physical activity affect hand grip strength and the influence of demographic factors that affect hand grip strength. The study was conducted by collecting data through physical activity interviews and measuring hand grip strength, body weight and height of Tangerang society. The total of 121 people with an age range of 20-60 years were assessed. This study found that BMI and physical activity significantly influenced the results of hand grip strength (p-value <0.05). Hand grip strength was affected by age (p-value <0.05; age estimate = -0.0013). The female gender had lower hand grip strength than the male age (p-value <0.05; estimate female gender = -0.12). The construction worker was found to affect hand grip strength compared to other occupations. In addition, cigarette consumption had no effect on hand grip strength (p-value>0.05).
