It has been reported that dynamometry in the elderly has been considered as a biomarker of aging because it helps to identify muscle weakness, which is related to multiple alterations such as osteopenic processes and physical dysfunction. Mutations in genotypic profiles and their polymorphisms can condition injuries in aging, therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the correlation of manual dynamometry and the association with the predisposition of muscle and joint injuries of the elderly of Santiago de Cali. No statistically significant association was found between the correlation of IL-6, COL1A1 genes and manual grip strength. According to the evidence, it was determined that low strength is an indicator of sarcopenia, frailty, loss of autonomy and mortality of the elderly.
