Abstract

This study sought to examine the correlation between the senior citizens’ muscular strength and blood pressure as a cross-sectional research design based on the national fitness of 100. The subjects involved 901 senior citizens aged 65 to 89, and as for the variables of muscular strength, the upper extremity muscular strength measurement method was performed, and the lower extremity muscular strength measurement method was performed by repeating sitting on a chair and standing up off the chair, while the systolic and diastolic parameters were set for the blood pressure variables. did. As for the data on the results measured for this study, the mean (M ) and the standard deviation (SD) of each question were calculated by using the SPSS/PC+ Win 21.0 Version. A simple correlation analysis was performed to validate the correlation between the muscular strength and blood pressure of this measured value, and all of the statistical significance levels were set to the level of p.5, respectively. As a result of the study, the upper extremity muscular strength and systolic blood pressure, upper extremity muscular strength and the diastolic blood pressure demonstrated such a clear and positive correlation, while the lower extremity muscular strength and systolic blood pressure demonstrated a clear and negative correlation and statistical significance, while the lower extremity muscular strength and diastolic blood pressure demonstrated a weak and negative correlation, respectively. As a result, it was verified that there is a correlation between the muscular strength and the blood pressure.
