The purpose of this study is to provide primary data for promoting healthier lives in older adults. To this end, this study analyzed the correlation between grip strength and the health-related quality of life(HRQoL; EQ-5D) in the elderly. The participants of this research were 4,917(2,264 male and 2,653 female) who underwent a grip strength test and responded to a questionnaire for those older than 65. The data collected from the participants were analyzed with SPSS 25.0 statistical software. Specifically, descriptive statistics were measured for mean, standard deviation, frequency and ratio, and as for analysis, the general linear modeling method and chi-square test were conducted. according to the result, there was a positive correlation between grip strength and the quality of life measures. On top of that, three linear models were generated to investigate which HRQoL measures were more likely to be affected by the difference in grip strength. The factors that influence the HRQoL(e.g., age, body mass index(BMI), education, household income, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, residential area, marital status, hypertension, diabetes and cancer) were considered in the modeling. The result of the general linear modeling showed that in both sexes, the quality of life was higher in those with stronger grip strength.BR In conclusion, these results can indicate that the loss of grip strength among the Korean elderly of 65 or older can be related to the deteriorating HRQoL. This study suggests, based on this conclusion, the need for an exercise intervention that strengthens the muscle in promoting the HRQoL indicators among the elderly.
