Previous issue date: 2015-03-03 / Introduction: The oldest old (80 years and older), are the segment of the population which has increased the most in Brazil. Among the leading causes of death in the oldest old are respiratory diseases, which average annual rate is 10 times higher than in the age group 60-69 years-old. Loss of muscle mass is a common factor in the aging process and can be associated with a decrease in the respiratory function.Objective: to investigate the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and respiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP) in the oldest old, as well as understand the factors potentially associated with HGS.Methods: descriptive and analytical study with convenience sampling.Results: The oldest old with higher HGS showed higher values of MIP and MEP. Functional disability was the variable most associated with HGS, the greater the degree of dependence, the worse the test result.Conclusion: The HGS is an important predictor of MIP and MEP. Therefore, motor physical therapy in the oldest old should also be prioritized in the rehabilitation of respiratory diseases. The maintenance of muscle strength can be a determining factor in the preservation of functional ability in the oldest old. / Introdu??o: Idosos com 80 anos ou mais, chamados longevos, s?o a camada da popula??o que mais tem crescido no Brasil. Entre as principais causas de mortalidade em longevos est?o ?s doen?as respirat?rias, cujo coeficiente m?dio anual ? 10 vezes superior ao do grupo et?rio de 60 a 69 anos. A perda da massa muscular ? um fator comum no processo de envelhecimento e que pode estar relacionada com a diminui??o da fun??o ventilat?ria.Objetivo: Verificar a associa??o entre a for?a de preens?o palmar (FPM) e a for?a da musculatura ventilat?ria (PImax e PEmax) em longevos, assim como compreender os fatores potencialmente associados ? FPM.M?todos: Estudo observacional descritivo e anal?tico, com amostragem por conveni?ncia.Resultados: Longevos com maior FPM, apresentaram maiores valores de PImax e PEmax. A incapacidade funcional foi a vari?vel com maior associa??o com FPM, quanto maior o grau de depend?ncia, pior o resultado no teste.Conclus?o: A FPM foi um importante preditor da PImax e PEmax. Portanto, a realiza??o da fisioterapia motora nos longevos deve tamb?m ser priorizada na reabilita??o de doen?as respirat?rias. A manuten??o da for?a muscular pode ser um fator determinante na preserva??o da capacidade funcional em longevos.
