The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between chronic renal failure( CRF) and muscle strength. This study obtained data from the Korea national health and nutrition examination survey(KNHANES, 2019), a cross-sectional and nationally representative survey conducted by the Korean centers for disease control and prevention. Participants in this study were the elderly aged 65 or older, and 1,395 were finally selected. As a result of adjusting all factors that can affect sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle, it was found that the association between CRF and muscle strength was significant at CRF stage 3-5 to 1.766 (95% CI: 1.083-2.881). The treatment of patients with chronic renal failure should be approached in consideration of a decrease in muscle strength, and a systematic and sustainable rehabilitation program is needed taking this into account.
