Maximum grip strength is defined as the maximum grip strength measurement of both hands (2x2) or of one hand (1x2). The following two graphs A5 and A6 show the grip strength performance for each age group. GRAPH A5 Self-Perceived Health This measure of general health is adopted from the Health and Retirement Study in the United States, SPHUS (Self-perceived health US version). The derived index dichotomises the US version of self-perceived health into two categories: (0) very good and excellent and (1) less than very good, shown in graphs A7 and A8. 55 50 45 40 35 Maximum Grip Strength - Men W E S N W E N N W E WE S S Maximum Grip Strength - Women 35 N 30 25 20 15 WE S EN W SE S N WE S S N W N W E S N W E S N W E S E S Source: Data SHARE Age group - men (years) mean(P age, gender) N Source: Data SHARE Age group - women (years) mean(P age, gender) N W 55
