This study aimed to investigate the characteristics, differences, and relationships between grip strength and maximum oxygen intake by age group, targeting men and women aged from 10 to 60. The study involved 13,679 subjects. Participants underwent measurements for height, weight, body fat percentage, body mass index (BMI), grip strength, and maximum oxygen uptake (VO<SUB>2max</SUB>). When analyzing the correlation between grip strength and VO<SUB>2max</SUB> in Korean men, there was no correlation observed in the 10s and 20s age groups, and an inverse correlation was found in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s age groups. Overall, grip strength showed a positive correlation with height, weight, and BMI, while body fat percentage tended to exhibit an inverse correlation. VO<SUB>2max</SUB> showed an inverse correlation with height, weight, BMI, and body fat percentage in all age groups after age 20. In the case of Korean women, only the 10s age group showed no correlation, while all other age groups exhibited an inverse correlation. In the 10s age group, grip strength showed a positive correlation with height, weight, BMI, and body fat percentage. Height, weight, and BMI were positively correlated in all age groups except the 10s, and body fat percentage tended to exhibit an inverse correlation. VO<SUB>2max</SUB> also showed an inverse correlation with weight, BMI, and body fat percentage in all age groups except the 10s. Taken together, the results indicate that grip strength is inversely correlated with VO<SUB>2max</SUB>, with relatively strong inverse correlations observed for weight, BMI, and body fat percentage. Therefore, after the age of 20, weight, BMI, and body fat percentage are more likely to be associated with aerobic performance than grip strength.
