%X There has been a decline of hand grip strength (HGS) among female college student across the globe, including in Indonesia. The low HGS at a young age is related to health problems and physical abilities in later life. Hand Grip Strength (HGS) is related with several factors such us body mass index (BMI) and protein intake, but the available researches are still inconsistent. This cross sectional study examined the level of HGS and it’s relationship with BMI and protein intake among 164 female college student of UHAMKA Jakarta (purposive sampling). Chi square test was performed to reveal the difference proportion of low HGS among various groups. The results showed that the average HGS score was 21.70 ± 7.09 kg, of which 48.7% of respondents were classified as low HGS. There was no significant difference of low HGS proportion between normal BMI and abnormal BMI (less and more) (P value = 0.481;OR=0,758). However, the proportion of low HGS was significantly higher among those who had deficit protein intake compared to normal (P value = 0,000;OR=9,0). Therefore, an adequate protein intake is needed to maintain muscle strength among youth. Keyword: muscle strength, hand grip, BMI, protein intake, late adolescences
