Abstract Objective Incontinence seriously affects the lives of middle‐aged and older people. Pelvic floor muscle assessment is very important for incontinence, and handgrip strength can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool. Our study aims to find new cutoff points of handgrip strength as early indicators of incontinence and analyze the association between low handgrip strength and incontinence among Chinese middle‐aged and older people. Methods Participants were recruited from the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longevity Study. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to find the handgrip strength cutoff point. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore other incontinence‐related risk factors. Results The study included 10,229 middle‐aged and older people. Compared with normal handgrip strength participants, medium strength participants had 1.510 [men, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.017–2.243] and 1.792 (women, 95% CI = 1.294–2.480) times greater risk of incontinence, and low strength participants had 2.420 (men, 95% CI = 1.787–3.277) and 1.516 (women, 95% CI = 1.130–2.032) times greater risk of incontinence. Trend test results showed that the risk of incontinence increased with decreasing handgrip strength in middle‐aged and older people. Conclusions Our study suggests that handgrip strength |
