Changes in neck circumference and handgrip strength according to increasing age

	Age group	60-64	65-69	70-74	75
Male	NC (cm)	37.98±0.14^a	37.76±0.21^a	37.65±0.24^a	36.96±0.20^b*
AHGS (kg)	38.45±0.47^a	37.26±0.60^b*	33.77±0.65^c*	30.31±0.69^d*
RHGS (m²)	1.59±0.02^a	1.56±0.03^a*	1.43±0.03^b*	1.31±0.03^c*
Female	NC (cm)	33.10±0.10	32.99±0.15	33.15±0.16	32.90±0.14
AHGS (kg)	23.26±0.27^a	22.61±0.37^a	21.69±0.38^b*	18.20±0.37^c*

Data are presented as means±standard error.

Superscript (a, b, c, d): different superscript shows post-hoc results using the bonferroni in the ANOVA (P<0.05).

NC, neck circumference; AHGS, absolute handgrip strength; RHGS, relative handgrip strength.

*It means the mean value shows significantly difference compared with 60-64 age group (P<0.01).
